Changing the Emulation

Before you can use the EpsonScript option, you need to change

the emulation by using the SelecType menus.

If you’re using the LocalTalk interface, the emulation may

automatically be set for PostScript compatibility. However, it is

a good idea to check this setting before you begin printing.

To manually change your printer’s emulation:

1. Press the Menu button. This takes the printer off line and

displays the PRINTING MENU, which is the first menu of

the series.

2. Press the Menu button until EMULATION MENU appears

in the display.

3. Press the Item button until the interface you want to use is

displayed.

You can choose the parallel, serial, LocalTalk (L/T), or any

auxiliary interface.

4.

Press the up arrow to select one of the following modes: PS,

PS&LJ4, PS&FX, PS&ESCP2, PS&GL2.

5. Press the Enter button to add the value to printer memory.

6. Press the On Line button to put the printer back on line.

If you see the message RESET TO SAVE, press Reset while

you hold down the Alt button.

PostScript emulation is now assigned to the interface or

interfaces you selected in step 3. It stays selected until you

change the emulation for the interface.
