Emulation modes
The CognitiveTPG A799 printer may be operated in a number of different emulation modes. However, printing
characteristics and defaults may differ, depending on the desired mode. For instance, two-color paper and ColorPOS
®
commands and features are available only in A799 native mode.
Print setup in emulation modes
Refer to the chart below for defaults and allowed printing options in each emulation mode.

The following list claries how the A799 printer will behave in each emulation mode:
Two-color paper and ColorPOS
®
commands and features are supported only in A799 native mode.
• If the paper type is changed using the 0x1D 0x81 command, the font and default lines per inch (LPI) will be setup as in
the table above.
• If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched to LEGACY, A794 or A793 emulation(s), the paper type will automatically be changed to
monochrome paper, and the font and LPI will be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched from any emulation to A799 native, the font and LPI will remain unchanged because the A799
native mode supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes.
• The “Set Default LPI” option in the conguration menu is not offered in LEGACY emulation made. The LPI is set at
6.00.
