NOTE: When the AR-PB2A is installed in AR-505/507/407/337/287,

the Printer Administration Utility is fully functional; however, if
the AR-PB2A is installed in other models, its functionality is
limited as follows:

In the automatic emulation sensing mode, for print data without the
PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched either to Post-
Script, PCL5e based on data sensed. In other words, automatic
emulation sensing (switching) is available only between PostScript
and PCL5e. For print data with the PJL command, the emulation is
automatically switched to the specified one without sensing the data.
When print data without the PJL command fails to be sensed, or
when the print data is given the PJL command but the specified
emulation is not present, the data is handled in the PCL emulation.
In the fixed emulation mode, for print data without the PJL command,
the fixed emulation is used to handle the print data. Print data with the
PJL command is switched to the specified emulation. When print data
is given the PJL command but the specified emulation is not present,
the data is processed by the default emulation.
The PJL Enter command specifies PostScript and PCL5e.
