See Appendix G, “Emulation support for Epson single-stationprinter,” on page 193.Enabling Epson emulationTo enable emulation of an Epson single-station printer on a single-station SureMarkprinter, you must set switch 3 on the main logic card. See Figure 17 for the locationof the switch.Limitations for Epson emulationThe following limitations must be considered when using a single-station SureMarkprinter to emulate an Epson single-station printer:v Logos and downloadable characters are supported in emulation mode. However,because the Epson printer prints at 180 dpi and the SureMark prints at 200 dpi,the emulated printout will be smaller.v Emulation of page mode is not supported on the SureMark.v Epson supports the Select paper sensor to stop printing command. IBM does notsupport a low paper sensor.v In order to implement fixes, new functionality, and other improvements, newreleases of printer microcode are routinely published. It is advisable that you runthe most recent version of firmware on the printer; however, the 4610 firmwarecan not be updated when running in Epson emulation mode. Therefore, you mustfirst switch the printer to native mode, to upgrade the microcode.1 2 3OFF4EIA-232 mode switchesCash drawer connectorFigure 17.
