Epson 8900 Series - Manual (Page 18)

Model 8900 Series Emulation Modes
The emulation mode determines how the printer responds to commands
from the host computer and determines the specific set of commands
to which the printer responds. For example, if you select the TI 880
emulation mode, the printer emulates the functions of the TI Model
880 Printer and responds to the set of commands designed for that
printer.
The emulation mode submenu lets you choose one of the following
emulation modes or select the hexadecimal dump mode.
q TI Model 880 printer (default)
q TI Model 855 printer
q IBM Proprinter XL
q Epson FX printer
q Optional
q Hexadecimal dump
Chapters 4 through 8 of this manual describe these emulation modes
and their functions. The emulation mode you choose must be
compatible with the host computer and its currently installed software.
The following figure shows the emulation mode submenu and the
following paragraphs describe the emulation mode setup parameters.
