LA210 Letterprinter Emulation Modes Reference Guide

This document is a Reference Guide for the Digital LA210 Letterprinter, specifically detailing its various emulation modes.

Published in February 1985 by Digital Equipment Corporation, it provides technical information for configuring and programming the LA210 printer to emulate other common printer models.

The guide covers three primary emulation modes:

1. IBM/Epson MX80
2. IBM/Epson MX80 Plus Graftrax (which includes enhanced graphics features)
3. IBM Graphics Printer

For each emulation mode, the document provides detailed information on:

• Switch-selectable features: Hardware configuration settings.
• Character sets: The characters available in that mode.
• Control characters (C0 and C1): Standard printer commands.
• Escape sequences: More advanced commands for functions such as vertical and horizontal form handling, paper fault management, various printing modes (e.g., bold, resolution, underline, script), character set mapping, and graphics modes.

It serves as a comprehensive technical resource for users and programmers to understand and utilize the LA210 Letterprinter's compatibility with other printer standards.
