Features

The EpsonScript™ driver gives your Epson printer the capability to print out documents formatted for PostScript™ Level 2 printers (equivalent to the Apple® Personal Laser Writer-2g) with your Macintosh® computer. This driver provides you with the following high performance features, for use with today’s desktop publishing:

Q Printing of documentations for PostScript printers. You can

easily print text, line art, graphics, and so on. With this cartridge installed, your Epson printer works as if it is an Apple Laser Writer 2g.

35 fonts in 11 font families: Fixed Pitch 810 Courier, Dutch 801 Roman, Swiss 721, Geometric ITC AvantGarde, Revival 711 ITC Bookman, Swiss 721 Narrow, Century 702 Century Schlbook, Zapf Calligraphic 801, ITC Zapf Chancery Medium Italic, ITC Zapf Dingbats, and Symbol.

Q Epson quality, reliability, and ease of operation.

This manual is a supplement to your printer manual. It gives you the additional information necessary to use the EpsonScript cartridge with your printer. Store these manuals together.

Introduction 1

Before using EpsonScript

Available interface

By connecting your Macintosh using Epson’s optional LocalTalk interface C82312*, you can use EpsonScript with your Macintosh computer. (If your printer has a built-in LocalTalk interface, you can use it instead.)

Note:

Do not use the serial interface for this purpose, because the

Macintosh does not have a printer driver for the serial interface.

This cartridge cannot be used in the EPL4000/4100/4200,

EPL-7000, or EPL-8000/8100 printers. Also, this cartridge does not

work with any other printers even if the printer has a cartridge slot. Please contact your dealer for details on whether you can use this cartridge with later Epson printers than those listed in this manual.

This cartridge does not work if the optional Epson PostScript CARD

(C82609*) is installed in your printer.

Required memory

Before using this cartridge, make sure your printer has more than

1.5MB of memory. Because this cartridge generates printing data

using banding memory techniques, you should be able to print

out most documents without adding more memory. If you connect your printer to more than one computer, you must

assign at least 1.5MB of printer memory to the channel using the cartridge. (See your user’s guide for more details.)

However, it is recommended you increase your printer’s memory if you print documents that require large amounts of data, such as detailed graphics or complex layout formats.

Chapter 1

Installing the Programs

This chapter explains how to install the printer software on your Macintosh computer.

Before installing this software, install the EpsonScript hardware in

your printer according to the instructions in your User’s Guide. You can install this software using the installer programs included

in the disk packed with the EpsonScript package. This installer copies the printer driver, utility, driver supplement files, and screen fonts to your Macintosh computer.
