Epson ActionLaser 1600 - Manual (Page 6)

Introduction
EpsonScript Level 2 for the ActionLaser™ 1600 adds PostScript®
compatibility to your ActionLaser 1400 so you can print files
formatted for PostScript. The printed output is equivalent to
the output of an Apple® LaserWriter® II NTX.
EpsonScript includes a set of 35 PostScript-compatible fonts
that include the following: Fixed Pitch 810 Courier, Dutch® 801
Roman, Swiss® 721, Geometric ITC Avant Garde® Revival 711
ITC Bookman,® Swiss 721 Narrow, Century 702 Century
Schoolbook,® Zapf Calligraphic 801, ITC Zapf Chancery®
Medium Italic, ITC Zapf Dingbats,® and Symbol. Matching
screen fonts are also included to ensure that what you see on
the screen matches the final printed output.
The quality of grayscale images is enhanced when you use the
MicroGray feature, which allows EpsonScript to achieve the
quality of a 1200-dpi typesetter to produce smoother graphic
output than is available with standard PostScript.
The EpsonScript kit consists of an EpsonScript interface board
and two sets of disks, one for the PC and one for the Apple
Macintosh.® Your kit might also include the Local Talk®
interface board, which allows you to connect the printer to
your Macintosh or to an AppleTalk® network.
