Boy, I hate it when unscrupulous dealers sell printers without the
MANUAL, don't you? After all, if one had the MANUAL one could open it
to page D-10 and read the [Global Commands]/[Emulation] section at the
bottom of the page, where it says
PS batch ESC DLE 0 1B 10 30
...
HPII ESC DLE 6 1B 10 36
It's easy to create a couple of tiny files or EMIT commands and put them
in batch files to switch emulations.
