GENICOM Techical Note 38U-002
3800 Emulation Switching - DOS & Windows
7/18/95 Ed Palmer
PROBLEM: The user wants to use the ANSI Windows driver, but also uses
DOS applications that support only Epson or IBM.
SOLUTION: Use the ANSI driver for Windows applications. In the DOS
application, send the command to switch to the appropriate emulation
at the beginning of each job.
The ANSI Windows driver sends the command to switch to ANSI at the beginning
of each job, so Windows print jobs will run properly. Many (but not all) DOS
applications allow insertion of printer control codes into the job.
The commands are:
IBM Graphics ESC [ 20 ; 0 SP ~
IBM ProPrinter ESC [ 21 ; 0 SP ~
Epson FX286e ESC [ 22 ; 0 SP ~
DEC LA210 ESC [ 25 ; 0 SP ~
ESC= Escape, SP= Space
CAVEAT: All DOS applications that use Epson or IBM emulation must send
the switch command. It may not be possible to insert the command sequence
into every application.
