Using Font Cards

Font cards allow you to use many different styles of type in addition to the internal fonts resident in your printer. The EPI-4000 has two slots for font cards, and a variety of font cards are available from your Epson dealer.

Compatible Font Cards

Check with your Epson dealer for a list of the font cards available for the EPI-4000. The manual for each font card contains samples of the characters and symbol sets the font card provides.

Note: You cannot use identity cards #5690 and #5691 with the EPI-4000.

You can use each font card in only certain printer modes, See the font card manual for information on the printer mode (HP, LQ, or FX emulation) to use. The EPI-4000’s default (factory) setting is HP emulation mode. To change the printer mode, use the SelecType printer mode menu described in Chapter 2.

Caring for Font Cards

When you use font cards, follow these precautions:

•Do not drop, bend, or crush font cards. The card’s natural curvature does not affect its operation, so do not try to straighten a card by bending it.

•Avoid touching the small gold connectors (contacts) along the card’s edge.

•If the card becomes dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the connector edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the card.
