Epson Action Laser II - Manual (Page 61)

Using Printer Selection Menus
Once you’ve set up the printer, you can start using it with your
application software program by choosing a printer name from the
program’s printer selection menu.
If your program has a printer selection menu, follow the instructions
below about printer emulation (operating) modes to get the best
performance from your printer.
Matching the printer mode to your application program
Your printer has three printer operating modes, also called
emulations. They are:
HP LaserJet IIP emulation
Epson ESC/P LQ printer emulation
Epson ESC/P FX printer emulation
The printer is factory-set to HP LaserJet IIP mode, and this setting
gives you the fullest range of features. For more information about
printer modes, see Appendix D.
HP LaserJet III’ emulation mode
When your printer is in HP LaserJet IIP (LJ-2P) mode, the factory
setting, select one of the following drivers from your program’s
printer selection menu:
HP LaserJet IIP
HP LaserJet series II™
HP LaserJet Plus™
HP LaserJet 500™
HP LaserJet™
If none of the above printers is listed among your program’s options,
select any printer model that uses the HP Printer Command
Language (PCL). Do not select PCL-5.
