Your machine will receive print commands in a printer job language or emulation. Different operating systems
and applications will send the print commands in different languages. Your machine can receive print
commands in a variety of emulations and has an automatic emulation selection feature. When the machine

Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel or
Web Based Management (web browser). To use Web Based Management, type “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your machine) into your browser.
