Al - Emulation
The LC24-30 Colour can “emulate” either an Epson LQ-
860 or an IBM Proprinter X24E. To “emulate” means to
“perform in the same way as”. The two printers offer dif-
ferent sets of printable characters. Unless you are using
an MS-DOS system and specifically need the IBM char-
acter sets, you will probably use the printer in Epson
mode. The character sets used by both the Epson and
IBM emulations are listed in the Appendix starting on
page 153.
If you want to use the printer in IBM emulation mode,
you will also need to select an IBM printer driver (see
page 27 of Chapter 3).
A2 - Automatic Emulation Change (AEC) mode
If this function is ON, the printer will automatically
select the correct emulation mode (Epson or IBM)
according to the printer driver selected in your applica-
tion. For example, if the printer is in Epson mode and
you select an IBM printer from your word-processor
running in MS-DOS, the printer will automatically
switch over to IBM emulation mode. This will allow you
to print characters from the IBM character sets.
