Sharp IQ-8900 - Manual (Page 225)

(see your printer’s manual regarding the emulation modes
it supports).
If your printer does not support any of the printer models

(US CHARACTERS) to print U.S. character codes or
OTHER (INTERNATIONAL) to print other character code

mode. For example, a collapsed Outline entry would be
printed without its hidden subtopics, etc.

When printing graphics, if there is a transfer problem or
the print job is

example, the printer might not function properly until it
is turned off and turned on again.
