Application Software

PostScript mode

Check to see that the SOFTWARE option in SelecType Level 1 is set to PostScript. If not, follow the steps described in Chapter 3 to change the printer mode with SelecType.

For PC users: Choose EPL-7500 from the printer selection menu in your application program. If the menu does not list the EPL-7500, choose any PostScript printer.

For Macintosh users: Check your Macintosh documentation for instructions on installing a printer. If the EPL-7500 is not listed among the printer options, choose the LaserWriter”.

HP emulation mode

If your application program doesn’t support the PostScript language, or if you are using a program written specifically for the HP LaserJet, use the SelecType Level 1 SOFTWARE option to set your printer to HP emulation mode. Then choose the first printer available from the list below from your application program’s printer selection menu.

HP LaserJet series llTM

HP LaserJet I’lusTM

HP LaserJet 500TM

H P LaserJetTM

If none of these printers are listed among your program’s options, select any printer that uses the HP Printer Command Language (PCL).

Printing a test file

After you install the software, create and print a test file using the fonts, symbols, features and formats that you use most often. Printing the test file shows you how the EPL-7500 works with your application program.
