bI0—Name of the partition in memory card 
The FRPO I0 specifies a memory ca rd partition name to be automatically read at power up. Only one 
partition may be specified. The data read from the na med partition at power up will be available to 
users accessing the currently-active interface. 
The command uses the following format: 
FRPO I0, ’ partition-name’; 
Note that a comma must be placed after the I0  parameter. The partition name should not exceed 15 
printable ASCII characters (20H through 7EH) and be  enclosed by single or double quotation marks. 
Partition names are case-sensitive so  the correct upper and lowercase characters must be used in the 
FRPO I0 string. 
The FRPO M2 parameter enables the  printing system to read the partition name into a port apart from 
the currently active one. For instan ce, if the active port were the parallel port but the M2 parameter 
specified the serial port, then the memory card data  would be available to users accessing the serial 
interface. 
cM1—Status send control 
The FRPO M1 parameter enables the user to receive  printing system status information. By sending 
CTRL-T (Hex 14) from the host co mputer to the printing system.
dM3—Host buffer mode 
The M3 parameter determines the au tomatic or fixed host buffer mode. 
If the M3 value is 0 (automatic), th e first data arriving from the computer go into buffer #1, regardless 
of which interface they arrive on. While buffer #1 is  in use, if data also begin to arrive on a second 
interface they are stored  in buffer #2. The printing system will print these data after it has finished 
printing the job received through buffer #1. The genera l rule is that data go to the available buffer. 
If the M3 value is 1 (fixed), buffer #1 is fixed to r eceive only the data arriving in the parallel interface; 
and buffer #2 is fixed in the option interface (if installed). The first data arriving on one of the 
interfaces go into its fixed, dedicated buffer and  the printing system begins printing these data and 
continues as above. 
The factory setting of  the total host buffer size is 60 kilobytes or 500 kilobyte s depending on the 
model. This can be altered by the  FRPO H8 command. If you alter th e buffer size, you must reset the 
printing system to bring  the change in effect. 
eM5/M6/M7/M8—Host buffer size 
The printing system utilizes each  one buffer for its interfaces. This enables simultaneous receiving 
of data from the different host computers. Th e FRPO M5, M6, M7, and M8 parameters determine 
the ratio among the sizes allocated  to these buffers. Parameters M6 and M7 are provided for option 
interfaces. 
For example, to allocate the  buffers with size ratio of 5:1, use the following format:
!R! FRPO M3, 1; FRPO M5, 5; FRPO M6, 1; EXIT;

Emulation
The printing systems emulate the operation of seven other printers: 
• HP LaserJet (mode 6)
• HP 7550A (mode 8)
• IBM Proprinter X24E (mode 1)
• Epson LQ-850 (mode 5)
• Diablo 630 (mode 2)
• Standard  line printer (mode 0)
• KPDL (mode 9) [PostScript compatible] 
Word-processing and graphics software for any of the above printers also works with the 
printing system. All you need to do is to set the printing system to emulate the printer 
your software supports and select  the appropriate printer driver. 
In rare cases when your software does not support any of the printers above, install your 
software to drive the  standard line printer and use PRESCRIBE commands to control 
line spacing, character  spacing, etc. 
Inappropriate selection of printer driver s and printer-based emulations will produce 
undesirable results. 
When shipped from the  factory, the printing system is set to emulate the HP LaserJet. For 
best results, look for an appropriate printe r driver in your software application. 
You can also find the appropriate printer dr iver for your model in the CD-ROM supplied 
with the product. Or, you are encouraged to visit our Internet home page to directly 
download the printer driver of the latest version. 
This chapter first explains how to select an  emulation. Then it gives some general infor-
mation applying to all the emulation modes.  Finally, it goes over each of the modes, 
explaining the printing system’s word-processi ng capabilities and showing its character 
sets. Tables of control codes and escape seque nces are also given at the end of each emu-
lation section.

Selecting an Emulation 
When installing a printing system, you can select an emulation that best suits the require-
ment by the application software. In most ca ses, the emulation will be the factory default 
setting (mode 6: HP LaserJet). Refer to th e following diagram to locate the next level 
emulation in case you need  to change the emulation. 
For example, in printing environments using the HP plotter model HP 7550A (KC-GL), 
the user should select mode 8. In PostScript printing environments, mode 9 should be 
selected (an option on some models) . 
To set an emulation mode, send the printing  system the FRPO commands listed in the 
table below. 
The emulation mode can also be changed from the printing system’s operator panel.  Table 7.1.  Emulation Switching Command Sequence

Automatic emulation sensing 
In printing systems that permit the selection of KPDL emulation, the automatic emula-
tion sensing (AES) can be activated so that print jobs using other emulations will auto-
matically print in the correct emulation. Refer to the AES related FRPO command 
parameters, P4 and P5, in  Interface-independent Parameters  on page 5 in Chapter 6. 
General Information on Emulation 
The printing system’s capability for supporting seven printer emulations is remarkably 
complete; although a few differences are noteworthy:
• The printing system cannot print on paper larger than the size of its cassette. In par-
ticular, it cannot print on continuous forms. 
• The 600 dpi and 1200 dpi resolutions are suppo rted only with HP LaserJet and KPDL 
emulations. Even for the models with 600 dpi and 1200 dpi support, printing occurs 
only with the 300 dpi resolution in Line Printer, IBM Proprinter, Diablo, and Epson 
emulation modes. 
• The printing system’s fonts do not dupli cate the appearance of the fonts of the emu-
lated printers exactly. For a fixed font, the  printing system provides the same charac-
ter spacing as the printer under emulation. This is not always true for proportional 
spacing. When proportional spacing is used, your word processing software, using an 
HP LaserJet driver, may be unable to  properly right justify proportional text. 
• The printing system supports scalable (o utline) fonts. With the assistance of PRE-
SCRIBE commands, the scalable  fonts are available for printing in any one of the 
emulation modes. (See  Chapter 4 for details.) 
• The graphics commands which create a pa th are also supported in all emulation 
modes. Instructions on how to create a path are described in  Chapter 2. 
• In all emulations, the printing system’s margins differ slightly between emulations.  The margins can be adjusted with PRESCRIBE margin commands. However, they 
cannot be moved outside the paper edge limits. 
• PRESCRIBE commands can also be used fo r supplementary font control. Examples 
are given in each sec tion (FONT, SFNT, etc.).
Line Printer Emulation (Mode 0) 
To set the power-up emulation for Line Printer, send the printing system the following 
PRESCRIBE command sequence: 
!R! FRPO P1, 0 ; FRPO P3, 1; FRPO U6, 1; EXIT; 
The Line Printer character set options are th e same as for the IBM emulation. FRPO U6, 
1 selects the full IBM US ASCII character se t, which includes many international char-
acters, graphic symbols, and mathematical symbols in addition to standard ASCII. If you 
leave the U6 parameter at its 0 factory sett ing, you will get a subset excluding some 
international characters and sy mbols. The other options are US Legal (FRPO U6, 9;) and 
the Danish character set (FRPO U6 , 4;). See Section  for details. 
The line printer emulation is virtually featureless. It uses only the control codes listed 
below.
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							Chapter 7 Emulation
7-4
Other control codes are ignored. In particular, the escape code (ESC: character code 27) 
is ignored. If the printing system receives  the escape sequence ESC A, for example, it 
ignores the escape code and prints the letter  A. Therefore, this emulation requires PRE-
SCRIBE commands for controlling the printing system. 
In font mode (FTMD) 15, the printing system automatically gives the innate character 
spacing, line spacing, and page  orientation for each bitmap font, and character spacing 
and page orientation for each scalable font. 
If a line overruns the right margin, word wrap  occurs automatically in this emulation. 
IBM Proprinter X24E Emulation (Mode 1) 
To set the power-up emulation for IBM Proprinter X24E, send the printing system the 
following PRESCRIBE command sequence: 
!R! FRPO P1, 1; FRPO P3, 1; EXIT; 
The IBM symbol sets include IBM PC-8 plus  international characters, mathematical 
symbols, Greek letters, and graphic symbols, so you can print things like:   
Symbol sets PC-850, PC-860, PC-863, PC-865,  US ASCII, and Denmark allow all ruling 
characters (hex B0 to DF) and underscore ch aracters (5F) to be printed in the correct 
pitch for creating continuous lines. 
The symbol set may be selected with the INTL command or the operator panel keys. Per-
manent setting of the symbol set is made with the FRPO U6 and U7 commands but not 
with the Proprinte r escape sequences. 
The following symbol sets list shows the support for the IBM emulation. Table 7.2.  Line Printer Control Codes

By giving a particular value for the U6 and U7 parameters, it is possible to use another 
symbol set which the Diablo does not have. For details, see LaserJet Symbol Sets on 
page 37.
At power-up or after a reset, the printing system defaults to LetterGothic (12 points, 10 
cpi). This default font emulates the IBM prin ter’s Sans-serif 10cpi font. The default font 
cannot be changed in the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation. (The FRPO C5, C2, and C3 
commands will be ignored in the  IBM Proprinter X24E emulation.) 
The printing system also emulates three other  IBM-printer fonts: Courier, Prestige Elite, 
and Courier Proportional (See the table on next page). These fonts can be obtained by 
embedded commands or by using a printer driver from your word-processing software 
that supports the IBM Proprinter X24E.  No PRESCRIBE commands are needed. An 
embedded command gives double-wide versions and another give double-high version 
of all four fonts. Samples are shown on the next page.

subscripts, underlining, backspace, vertical and horiz ontal tabulation, line spacing, and 
paper length. 
The font mode set for the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation is  0 (the printing system 
adjusts nothing automatically for font attributes) unless you change it by the FTMD 
command. If you do not need exact character spacing, you can improve the appearance 
of some fonts by changing the font mode to 13. 
!R! FTMD 13; EXIT; 
It should be noted that for FTMD 13; the defa ult Draft Sans-serif font will be printed in 
12 cpi, and the Courier Proportional font will be printed in fixed pitch. 
To use some of the page printing system’s other fonts, you can select them with font 
selection commands, but a more convenient method is available. You can substitute other 
fonts for the four embedded fonts with  SETF (SET alternate Font) commands. This 
works because the printing system obtains these fonts from the following default values 
of the SETF command:
A substitute font can be any resident font if you use the SFNT command to assign the 
font number. (See the SFNT command page in  PRESCRIBE Commands Command 
Reference .)
To assign a font number to resident fonts  for substituting the emulated fonts in IBM Pro-
printer X24E emulation, all the option parameters (including  symbol-set, compression, 
and  angle ) for the SFNT comman d must be specified. 
Landscape orientation is another feature th e printing system can offer that the IBM 
printer cannot. If you command !R! SPO L; EX IT; the printing system rotates the current 
font and prints text in landscape orientation. 
The printing system supports th e IBM printer’s bit-image graphi cs in portrait orientation, 
so graphics software using  the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation will print charts, graphs, 
and pictures without the need  for PRESCRIBE commands. The print model and clipping 
features of the PRESCRIBE path mode graphi cs will be ignored with the IBM bit-image 
graphics, however. 
If you attempt to print beyond the right margin, the characters will wrap around and print 
on the next line.
