LP 410  (260-2889)          Epson Control Codes        Faxback Doc. # 4086

This printer has three emulation modes:

* HP LaserJet III
* Epson FX-850
* IBM Proprinter XL24e

The LP 410 has different responses to software codes from the computer--one
set for each emulation.  The response patterns, or modes, have many
similarities, but each has its own unique features.
