Epson emulation options
If you chose Epson in the Print Spooler Preferences dialog box, you can make
the following settings:
m Choose “Gaps between pages” if your applications are configured to print
to a 60-line page. If your pages are clipped at the top or bottom when you
print, select “No gaps between pages.”
m The font in the Default Font box is used when you’re printing ASCII text
from DOS and when the Faster Printing option is selected. For best results,
use a fixed-space font such as Courier or Monaco. Using a proportional
font, such as Times
® , may change your document’s formatting.
m Choose Faster Printing when you want to quickly print text from a DOS
application. When this option is selected, printers that use less than
300-dpi resolution (such as ImageWriter dot-matrix printers) will print in
72-dpi resolution.
m Choose Better Quality if you want Epson printer fonts in your document to
be translated to corresponding Macintosh TrueType fonts. Because Epson
printer fonts are fixed-space fonts, the TrueType font will be scaled to
behave like a fixed-space font. Printers that use less than 300 dpi
resolution will print in 144-dpi resolution.
For best results, use Epson printer fonts that map to a fixed-space TrueType
font, or use graphical fonts supplied by your DOS application. The following
table lists some Epson printer fonts and the TrueType fonts they are translated
to if Better Quality is selected:
Epson font TrueType font
Roman Times (proportional)
SanSerif Helvetica (proportional)
Prestige Palatino (proportional)
Courier Courier (fixed)
OCR-A, OCR-B Monaco (fixed)
Script, Script C, Monaco (fixed)
Orator, Orator S Monaco (fixed)
