Problem

Solutions: This printer is a versatile machine. It can operate in its native mode, or it can be operated in four emulation modes. It can also serve multiple computers via its different interfaces, in effect functioning as two or three independent printers. When different computers use the printer via different interfaces, they do so without mutual interference. Independent input buffers enable the printer to receive jobs on all its interfaces simultaneously and print them out separately, one by one. The printer also remembers settings made by software on each of its interfaces. The printer can be used at the same time by a desktop publishing program on one interface, a word processing program on another interface, and a spreadsheet program on the third interface. This remains true even if the programs use the printer in different modes. Native mode - This is the printer's best mode because it makes all the printer's fonts available in any desired point size. It also provides graphics. If your software supports it, this is the best mode to select. Note: Many software packages support this mode under the name PostScript, LaserWriter, or LaserWriter Plus. HP LaserJet Series II - This is the printer's second best mode. It does not use all of the printer's built-in fonts, but it still provides a good selection which can be supplemented by downloaded fonts. It also supports graphics. Diablo 630 Emulation - This mode enables you to use software from the pre-laser printer days. The printer's capabilities in this mode are limited to four fonts and coarse graphics. Line Printer - This mode prints unadorned text, such as computer listing, in much the same way as they would appear on the computer screen. It provides a single font without graphics. Hexadecimal Dump - This mode is useful in software engineering work. The printer prints the data it receives in hexadecimal code form. NOTES: Whichever mode you choose, it is essential that your software and the printer be set to the same mode. Each of these modes uses the completely different command system. The printer will not print correctly unless the modes match. On the auxiliary interface, it is recommended that the printer be used in its native mode. AppleTalk may not operate correctly in the emulation modes. On each of the three interfaces, the printer can be set to power up in either its native or emulation mode. The printer is factory-set to power up in the native mode on all three interfaces. On each interface, only one of the four emulation modes is available at a time. The factory setting is the LaserJet emulation on all three interfaces. Under factory-setting conditions, the printer will accordingly power up in its native mode on all interfaces. If you switch into emulation mode on a given interface, the printer will operate in the LaserJet emulation on that interface, while remaining in native mode on the other interfaces. If you intend to use the printer exclusively in an emulation mode on one of its interfaces, you will find it convenient to set the printer to power up in that emulation mode on that interface. Switching Modes There are two ways to switch the printer between native and emulation mode. One is to press the Manual Feed -FF key combination on the printer's control panel. The other is to send the character sequence !EM! (to enter emulation mode) or !KP! (to return to native). See the reference manual for more information.
