1 Using Emulation
1.1 About Emulation
This chapter explains ESC/P emulation of print languages available on this printer.
Print data conforms to certain rules (grammar). These rules (grammar) are called print
language.
This printer supports a page description language used to create images on a page basis
and an emulation feature used to obtain the print result similar to that obtained by another
printer. The ability to obtain the print result similar to that obtained by another printers is
called emulation.
Note
• The ESC/P emulation mode can be used when the SC/TC Font ROM (optional) is installed.
Emulation Mode
When printing data written in a language other than the page description language
supported by this printer, place this printer in the emulation mode. This printer has more
than one emulation mode. The following table summarizes the relationship between the
ESC/P emulation mode and the printer type to be emulated.
Emulation mode Emulated printer
ESC/P emulation mode (ESC/P mode) VP-1000
Host Interface and Emulation
Different host interfaces support different print languages. Host interfaces that support print
languages are as follows:
• Parallel port
• Serial port
•LPD port
• NetWare port
• SMB port
• IPP port
• USB port
• Port9100 port
6 1 Using Emulation
Page 7
Switching Between Print Languages
This printer supports multi-emulation, allowing you to switch between print languages.
There are three methods of switching between print languages.
Switching by Commands
Commands for switching between supported print languages are provided. Upon receipt of
a command, this printer selects the relevant print language.
Automatic Switching
This printer analyzes the data received by the host interface to identify the print language
to be used. It then switches to the identified print language automatically.
Interface-dependent
Set a print language for each host interface using the control panel. Switch to the print
language corresponding to the host interface that received data.
ESC/P Mode Menu Screen
This screen is for setting items specific to the ESC/P emulation mode. Press the <Menu>
button, and select [ESCP] for [Print Language].
Refer to
• ESC/P mode menu item: “2 ESC/P Mode Settings” (P. 12)
1.1 About Emulation 7
Page 8
1.2 About Fonts
This section explains the fonts that can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode.
Usable Fonts
The following fonts can be used in ESC/P emulation.
Outline Fonts
Chinese fonts
• ShuSongTi
• FangSongTi
•KaiTi
•HeiTi
European fonts
• Roman
• Sans Serif
•OCR-B
User-defined Fonts (Specially Registered Fonts)
User-defined fonts (specially registered fronts) can be used on this printer. User-defined
fonts can be stored only in memory. This means that they are erased from memory when
this printer is switched off. Note, however, that when an optional hard disk is installed,
user-defined fonts are stored on hard disk, and are held even if this printer is switched off.
The amount of user-defined fonts that can be saved registered on hard disk is the same as
when they are stored to memory.
User-defined fonts are registered as bitmap fonts. User-defined fonts are not shared
between print languages
Font Cache
To ensure high-speed printing, outline fonts are cached if they are not too large.
Outline fonts are converted to bit map data temporarily and then printed. To minimize this
processing time, the processed bit map data is saved in the memory.
This process is called font cashing.
The saved bit map data is erased at power-off or system reset.

1.3 Eject Function
This section explains the eject function. There are two types of eject functions as shown
here.
• The remaining data is forcibly ejected.
• All jobs in the printer are eliminated.
To Forcibly Eject Remaining Data
For ESC/P emulation mode, data is not ejected until a full page of data has accumulated.
When using a parallel interface, if operations stop while the data for the last page is being
transferred, this machine waits for the next data until the time set [Auto Eject Time] has
passed, and the “Waiting for data” appears in the display.
In this kind of situation, forced eject does not wait for automatic eject and just forces all of
the data in the printer to print out.
The operation procedure is shown below.
Note
• When “Waiting for data” appears in the display, the next job sent to the printer may not be printed
correctly. Send the next job after forced eject or after the automatic eject time has been exceeded.
Refer to
• Auto Eject Time: User Guide 4.2 Description of Menu Items
1. Press the <Eject/Set> button when the
display shown to the right appears.
Printing will start.
When printing ends, the display changes to
“Ready to print”.
Important
• When the common menu item [Print Mode] is set to
[Auto], “Waiting for data” does not appear, so forced
eject does not occur.
<Eject/Set> button
1.3 Eject Function 9
Page 10
To Eject All Jobs in the Printer
Print all jobs that the printer has received.
Through this procedure, you can interrupt the receiving of data and empty the buffer. The
procedure is explained below.
1. Press the <Online> button when the display
shown to the right appears.
Note
• Pressing the <Online> button to make the printer
automatically stop receiving data.
<Online> button
2. Press the <Eject/Set> button. This starts
printing.
When all jobs are executed and printed, the
display changes to “Off-line”.
Note
• When a parallel interface or USB interface is being
used, depending on when the <Online> button is
pressed in step 1, data reception may occur in the
middle of a job. In this case, after the <Eject/Set>
button is pressed, and processed like a new job after
releasing offline in step 3.
3. Press the <Online> button.The display
changes to “Ready to print”.
Note
• After “Ready to print” appears, the data that is being
processed as a new job may not be printed correctly if
[Print Mode] is set to [Auto] in the common menu.

Zoom Mode
Fixed % (default)
The scaling factor is automatically calculated from the currently set document size and
paper size, and the document is printed so that the document size print area fits into the
print area of the paper size. For this reason, the scaling factor becomes 100% (actual size)
if the paper is the same size as the document. When 2 Up is set, documents are printed so
that the size of two documents fit into the print area of a single page size.
Variable %
Sets any scaling value. Scaling values in the range 45 to 210% in 1% units can be set
independently for each of the horizontal and vertical directions. Default is 100%.
Full Size
The entire surface area of cut sheet paper is printed in the print area.
[Full Size] refers to the scaling factor that is automatically calculated from the currently set
document size and paper size. The entire surface is printed so that the physical paper size
of the currently set document size fits into the print area of the paper size.

Stored Jobs Menu
Settings can be registered to NV memory (No. 01 to 05) and called up as required.
At startup
[At startup] refers to the reading of non-volatile memories (No. 01 to 05) pre-registered by
[Store] when the power is switched on or the system is reset.
Here, set the No. of the NV memory to call up.
The default is [Factory], which means that the default settings are called up when the printer
is started up.
Retrieve
This feature calls up pre-registered settings.
Sets the No. of the memory to call up.
The default is [Factory], which means that the default settings are called up.
Store
There are two types of memory, ROM for storing defaults, and NV memory (No. 01 to 05)
for holding user settings.
With register memory, the various preset mode menu settings are registered as a group to
NV memory (No. 01 to 05).
Registering these settings in advance makes it easier to call up mode menu settings, and
you are no longer required to repeat the same settings each time after the printer is switched
on.
Registered settings are stored until you initialize NV memory or clear memory.
Delete
Clears the settings registered to NV memory.
Sets the No. of the memory to clear.
Note
• [No. 01] to [No. 05] are not displayed if there is nothing registered in memory.
• To protect against the wrong settings being made due to commands received from a client, we
recommend that you press the <Online> button and go offline while you are registering data to memory.
