How EpsonScript Affects Your Printer

When you install EpsonScript, the SelecType menus on the printer’s front panel are expanded to allow you to select PostScript emulation and change settings in EpsonScript. The changes to SelecType are these:

The EMULATION MENU allows you to select a PostScript emulation mode.

The PS MENU has been added so you can print a PostScript-compatible error sheet, change the MicroGray setting, and specify how much memory is reserved for page protection.

The TEST MENU includes three new items for testing PostScript compatibility.

EMULATION MENU

When you install EpsonScript, the EMULATION MENU is expanded to allow you to select one of the following PostScript compatiblity options:

PS

PS&LJ4

PS&FX

PS&ESCP2

PS&GL2

PS specifies that the selected interface handles only PostScript- compatible data. The other four settings are combined emulations that allow the printer to switch automatically between PostScript compatibility and another emulation as print data is received.
