K95 opens the printer queue in RAW mode. This means that whatever
data is sent by the host is sent to the printer without alteration.
It is exactly the same as if you were to print to a file and then
copy the file byte for byte into the printer.
When you print to the printer via a DOS device, the printer output
is not sent in RAW mode but is instead interpretted by the printer
device driver install on Windows for use by 16-bit DOS applications.
This is a print redirector and it is not guarranteed to be transparent.
In order for the host to send printer sequences to the printer, the
host must know exactly what type of data the printer needs. You can
verify that the sequences being sent by the host are in fact being
sent to the printer by Pausing the Printer Queue and then examining
the spool file for the print job.
