Limitations for Emulation
The following limitations must be considered when using the SureMark printer to
emulate the Model 3 or Model 4 printer.

checks should not).

needs to be decided when the printer is initially configured.

front).
v User-defined special characters are not supported.
v Emulation mode does not support the Model 4A double-byte character set.
v For RS-485, emulation mode is currently only supported on 4690 OS and DOS
systems. For USB, emulation mode is currently only supported on 4690 OS.
