PQ-8P, PQ-8S
COMMAND 23: DRAFT
PRINTING
Non-HP PCL only. Selects the Draft
Printing mode when a draft print
command comes from the host or
from the PQ-8.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
*0 Normal draft
1 Fast draft
Example: &%Z23,1 sets the printer
to print fast draft.
COMMAND 24: IBM PRINTER
EMULATION
Selects the IBM printer emulation.
The IBM printer emulation is closely
related to the selected output
protocol (set by DIP switches; see
Section 4.2.1). Table 4-11
summarizes this relationship. When
changing the output protocol, the
PQ-8 only loads the default IBM
printer emulation if the active IBM
emulation is invalid. To obtain the
default IBM printer emulation, you
need to restore factory defaults.
Example: Your PQ-8 is set to the
Generic output protocol and IBM
5256 printer emulation. You now
switch to the I-O 8215 output
protocol. Since the currently active
IBM 5256 printer emulation is valid
(see table below), the interface will
honor this emulation and not
change.
Had you selected the HP line
printer emulation, the IBM 5256
printer emulation would not be a
valid selection. The interface would
have switched to the default IBM
5224 printer emulation.
