Using Your Printer with Software

Now that you’ve set up the EPI-4000 printer and are more familiar with its operation, start using it with your application programs.

Most applications programs let you specify the type of printer you are using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features. Many of these programs provide an installation or setup menu that presents a list of printers to choose from.

If your program has a printer selection menu, follow the instructions below to get the best performance from your EPI-4000 printer.

Selecting the Best Printer Mode

The EPI-4000 has three printer modes, also called emulations. It is factory set to LaserJet series II emulation mode and this factory setting gives you the fullest range of features. Simply leave the printer in HP emulation mode and choose one of the printers below from your program’s setup menu. They are listed in order of preference.

HP LaserJet series IITM or HP LaserJet 2000TM

HP LaserJet PlusTM

HP LaserJet 500TM

HP LaserJetTM

Note: If you use 11 x 17-inch (ledger or B) size paper for most of your printing jobs, choose the HP LaserJet 2000. For more about HP emulation mode, see Appendix B.
