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.

Installing the printer driver

Before installing

To install the software, your Macintosh computer must have the following:

2MB of RAM

System 7.0 or later

Hard disk

Installing the Programs 1-1

Easy and customize installation

The installer has two installation types; Easy Installation and Customize Installation. The characteristics of each installation are described below.

Easy installation

The installer copies all files which did not exist in your computer’s hard disk drive. This choice is recommended for most of the all users.

Customize installation

At the beginning of this installation, you can select the file(s) to be installed to your computer so you can save the hard disk space. However, we recommend you to start Easy Installation described above, because the utility program and the screen fonts revise your printing environment drastically better.

Using Easy installation

Follow the steps below to install the necessary files for using EpsonScript

Print Patterns As Grays (/As Colors)

Bitmap graphic images can be black and white, color, or

simulated grayscale using black and white patterns to represent shades of gray. The driver sends these patterns to the printer as colors so that the printer can print them in its

own grayscale patterns.

But some patterns used in graphics may not be recognized by

the driver as representing color. These are sent to the printer

as patterns and therefore have a poorer quality. This option

printer’s capabilities.

Smart Underlining

Normally, the underlining crosses the descenders in your documents. You can break the underlining around the decenders using this setting. You can confirm the setting by viewing the sample graphic in the window.

Precision Bitmaps

On most Macintosh computers, images are displayed at 72 dpi

(dots per inch). However, most EpsonScript and PostScript printers print images at multiples of 75 dpi. This might decrease the image print quality during transformation of screen data to print data. Click this button to multiply the images at a multiple of 75 dpi. The quality of the image is preserved, though the image is reduced by about 4% from the screen size.
