– IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA36N)
– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA36W)
EPSON ESCP
Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol
AUTO
Printer automatically senses the active protocol. This
is useful when you use various applications in a DOS
or network environment and so you cannot determine
the protocol. The efficiency of this function relies on
the recognition of control sequences that are protocol
specific. If such control sequences are not detected
in the data string received, the printer may fail to
determine the proper protocol, providing an
unexpected result.
PORT DEPND
Printer selects a protocol according to the active
interface (parallel or serial). See the next options.
<PRTCL SERL>
Select a protocol for the serial interface. This is
invalid and skipped when
PORT DEPND
is not
selected for the
<PROTOCOL>
option.
