If you choose a menu item that has a numerical value, the item name appears in the first

To increase the numerical value, press Menu>; to decrease the current setting, press
<Menu. The displayed setting changes accordingly. To save the new setting, press

Go once to display the IPDS MENU and a second time to display the Ready status
message if this is the last printer setting to be changed. See Activating Saved Option
Changes below.
Another type of numerical value is found if you select M ENUS, IPDS MENU,
EMULATION and Default CPI. This option consists of two numbers, which are set
independently of each other. Use Menu> or <Menu to increase or decrease the number
value. Press Select to switch to the second number after setting the first. Press Select

3.2.5 Activating Saved Option Changes
You may need to power the printer OFF and ON to activate an option change. See the
section below, which corresponds to your "attachment" method.
LAN Attachment
Most changes to IPDS MENU settings are active on the very next IPDS print job. This
is true when you are LAN attached using a MarkNet internal print server or a MarkNet
Pro external print server, or MarkNet XLe adapter. When the IPDS Timeout option is
set to a value other than Host Controlled, you will have to power the printer OFF and
ON to activate some menu setting changes. See note below.
Coax/Twinax Attachment
If you are attached to your host using a coax or twinax connection, most settings do not
become active until the printer is powered OFF and ON. You should power the printer
OFF and ON, if you want the settings to be used for your next print job.
Note: If you are LAN attached with the IPDS Timeout option set to a value
other than Host Controlled or if you are using a coax or twinax
attachment, the warning message below is displayed if changes do not take
effect immediately.

4.3 EMULATION Menu Options
In the following an asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value.
4.3.1 IPDS Emulation
This option selects the printer emulation to be used.
4028* IBM 4028 emulation
3112/3116 IBM 3112/3116 emulation
43xx IBM 4312, 4317 or 4324 emulation
3812/3816 IBM 3812/3816 emulation
Note: The 3812/16 emulation does not support the printer IPDS Resolution setting
of 300 dpi. If 3812/16 emulation is selected and the printer IPDS Resolution
setting is 300 dpi, the printer IPDS emulation ignores the 300 dpi setting and
uses 600 dpi. This means, that the 240 dpi data received from the host is
converted to the printer's working resolution of 600 dpi.
