Epson PostScript Card Supplement to the manual

According to our agreement with Adobe, owners of the Epson PostScript Card
have the right to get the Supplement to the manual. The supplement is very
technical and will probably not be requested. Therefore, neither SEC nor EAI will
publish the manual, but Robert Shibata, Lead Product Support Specialist, will have
a copy.

Please call me if you have any questions.

If any users want the manual, Robert can send them a copy.

Features

This manual is a supplement to your printer manual. It gives you
the additional information necessary to use the PostScript CARD
with your printer. Keep these manuals together.

iv

Introduction

Precautions

Available printers

This card can work with the page printers listed below:

EPL-7000/7100/7050C
EPL-4000/4100, ActionLaser

It does not work with these printers:

GQ-3500, GQ-5000
EPJ-200, EPI-4000

EPL-6000, ActionLaser, ActionLaser PLUS

If your printer is not listed above, ask your Epson dealer whether
this card can be used with your printer.

Required memory

Before using the card, make sure your printer has more than 1.5
megabytes (MB) of memory. If you connect your printer to more
than one computer, you must assign at least 1.5 MB of printer
memory to the channel using the PostScript CARD. See your printer
user’s guide for more details.

Note:

. You cannot assign the PostScript mode to more than one

channel even if your printer has more than 3.0 MB of memory.

l

When the memory is insufficient for your paper size, the
printing area might be clipped. Minimize the receive buffer
size and the FULL PRINT setting, or both, using SelecType or
install extra memory.

Introduction v

Precautions

Available interfaces

Unless you are using a MacintoshTM, you can use any built-in or
optional interface to connect your printer to your computer.

Note for Macintosh users:

When you install this PostScript CARD in your printer, you can
connect it to your Macintosh with the optional LocalTalk
interface C82312*. Do not use the serial interface for this purpose,
because the Macintosh does not have a printer driver for the serial
interface.

TM

For EPL-7000/7100 Users

Your printer always reprints jammed pages after a paper jam

l

error is corrected, even if JAM RECOVERY is OFF.
You may get a PAPER SIZE ERROR if you try to print on a

l

paper size that cannot be selected with SelecType. If this error
occurs, press RESET until the display shows RESET.

When your printer is used with two computers, the PostScript

l

CARD should be used with channel S. If you want to use the
card with channel P, set the MEMORY menu to S 0:10P.

You cannot connect the EPL-7000/7100 to a Macintosh

l

computer.

vi Introduction

Precautions

For EPL-4000/4100/ActionLaserII users

If you are using your printer with more than one computer and you
are using an optional interface, you must use the PostScript CARD
with the optional interface.

If you are using more than one computer but not using an optional
interface, you must use the PostScript CARD with the serial
interface.

Introduction

Chapter 1

Handling the PostScript CARD

Care and Handling

Do not drop, crush, or bend the card. Its natural curvature does
not affect operation, so do not try to straighten the card by

bending it.

Avoid touching the gold connectors along the card’s edge.
If the card becomes dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the

edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or other
solvents.

Keep the card in the protective case and blue antistatic bag when
you are not using it.

Do not store the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
When stored, the card can withstand from -30°C to 65°C (-20°F
to 150°F) temperatures and up to 90% humidity.

Be careful when you insert and remove the card. You can
damage it by inserting it the wrong way or using too much force.

Handing the PostScript CARD

l-l

Installing the Card

Insert the card only when the printer is turned off.
Always insert it into slot A of your printer.
If the slot is horizontal, insert the card with the Epson logo on the

upper side of the card. If the slot is vertical, insert the card so the
Epson logo faces the A label. Follow the steps below to install the
card:

1.

Turn off the printer.

2.

Hold the card so that the arrow on the card is aligned with the
arrow on slot A.

3.

Gently slide the card into the slot until it locks in place.

4.

Turn on the printer.

Once you insert the PostScript CARD, you can select it using
SelecType.

Note:

l

Make sure your printer has at least 1.5 MB of memory,
including an optional expanded memory board or chips. You
will get an error message if you select the PostScript CARD
when not enough memory is installed.

l

Do not insert the card while the printer is turned on. If an
error occurs, refer to your printer manual for instructions.

1-2

Handing the PostScript CARD

Selecting PostScript

Because your printer is set to operate in one of the resident printer
modes, you need to change the mode setting through SelecType

before you can use the PostScript option.
If you are not familiar with SelecType, see your printer manual. You

may also find it helpful to refer to the Quick Reference card (located

at the back of the manual) whenever you use SelecType.

First, find the MODE or MODE ASSIGN menu in your SelecType
map. (The menu for changing the printer mode is not identical in all
printers.) You can change the printer mode to PS from these menus.

The following two sets of steps describe how to change the printer

mode for the EPL-4000/4100, ActionLaserII, and the EPL-7000/7100

printers. See your printer manual for more details.

Printer Selection Menus

Now that you have installed the PostScript option in your printer,
you can start using it with your application programs.

Most programs let you specify the type of printer you are using
from a list of printers in the setup procedure. If your program has a
printer selection menu, choose one of the printers listed below. They
are listed in order of preference:

EPSON PostScript CARD
EPL-7500
General PostScript Printer
LaserWriter

If none these printers is available, choose any printer that uses the
PostScript language.

Removing the Card

Follow these steps if you need to remove the card:

1.

Make sure the printer is turned off.

2.

Remove the card by grasping it at the center and gently pulling
it straight out.

Never insert or remove the card while the printer is turned

3.

Turn on the printer.
If the CH. (EPL-7000/7100) or the FEED light is flashing, press

FEED; the printer then prints one page of data from the buffer.

Note: Never remove this card while the printer is on line, in
SelecType mode, or while resetting. If you do, a REINSERT
CARD, REMOVE CARD, or SERVICE REQ. message may appear
on the display. See the section on card error messages in your
printer manual.

You can make various printer settings using SelecType. Although
normal SelecType functions differ slightly by printer model, the
menus added by this emulation are identical for each printer. The
following section describes the SelecType menus and explains these
additional functions. See your printer manual for more details on
other menus.

SelecType Tables for this Card

Your printer has two SelecType levels : level 1 and level 2. When
