problems both for the appellant and the Board and more care
should be applied in stating the ground of rejection.
The Invention
The invention is directed to a printer for use with an
inputted emulation program which interprets the control code sent

turned off. Claims 1, 11 and 12 are the only independent claims.
All other claims depend ultimately from claim 1. Representative
claim 1 is reproduced below:

according to the received control code to carry out printing
based on the print data, comprising:
input means for inputting an emulation program
used for interpreting the control code;
