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.
