Introduction

The EpsonScript™ Level 2 option gives your EPSON® printer

the ability to print documents formatted for PostScript® Level 1

and Level 2. When installed, the EpsonScript option enables

your printer to emulate an Apple® LaserWriter® IIg printer.

The EpsonScript option can be either a cartridge (C8320*) you

insert in the front of the printer or a board (C83209*) that you

install in the printer. The particular option you need depends

on your printer type. See “Hardware requirements” for more

information.

This manual describes how to install and use your EpsonScript

option and is intended to supplement the information in your
printer manual. Most sections in this guide apply to both the
cartridge and board, while other sections apply to only one
option.

Features

The EpsonScript option provides you with the following
high-performance features:

Ability to print documents formatted for PostScript
printers. You can easily print text, line art, and graphics.

Two print modes: Banding mode and Page Protect mode.
Banding mode uses less memory, allowing you to print
with at least 1.5 MB (for the C8320* cartridge) or 2 MB
(for the C83209* board) of memory. Page Protect mode
allows you to allocate memory for a full page image.

Phoenix MultiGray® (C83202* cartridge) and MicroGray
(C83209* board only) features that enhance grayscale
images to produce higher quality grayscale images than is
possible in normal PostScript mode.

Introduction 1

Thirty-five fonts in 11 font families. Fonts include Fixed
Pitch 810 Courier, Dutch® 801 Roman, Swiss® 721,
Geometric ITC Avant Garde? Revival 71 ITC Bookman,?
Swiss 721 Narrow, Century 702 Century Schoolbook?
Zapf Calligraphic 801, ITC Zapf Chancery® Medium Italic,
ITC Zapf Dingbats®, and Symbol.

IES (Intelligent Emulation Switch) and SPL (Shared Printer
Language) support to allow the printer to switch between
EpsonScript emulation and other emulations as print data
is received at the printer.

EPSON quality, reliability, and ease of operation.

Where to Get Help in the U.S.

Epson America provides local customer support and service
through a nationwide network of authorized EPSON dealers
and Service Centers.

2 Introduction

Before You Install the Option

Read the following sections before installing your EpsonScript
option.

Hardware requirements

To use EpsonScript with Macintosh® computers, you must use
the appropriate option with one of the printers listed in the

following table. You must also install the LocalTalk® interface
(C8231*) in your printer and obtain LocalTalk cables to
connect the printer to the computer or AppleTalk® network.
You cannot use the serial interface.

Option

EpsonScript Level 2 cartridge (C83202*)

EpsonScript Level 2 board (C83209*)

Printers

EPL-5000/5200
ActionLaser™ 1000/1500

EPL-5600
ActionLaser 1600

Other printers might support the EpsonScript option. If you
purchased an EpsonScript printer after January 1994 and it is
not listed in the table, ask your EPSON representative if your
printer supports EpsonScript.

Note:

The EpsonScript option will not work if the optional EPSON

Introduction 3

System and memory requirements

Any Macintosh computer to which the printer is connected
must be running System 7.x and have at least 2 MB of RAM.

Caution:

Do not install EpsonScript on a computer running System 6.x
or earlier. Installing EpsonScript on early systems can corrupt
them.

The memory requirements for your printer depend on which
option and printer you are using. Make sure your printer has
the minimum amount of memory required for your option as

shown in the following table.

Option

EpsonScrIpt Level 2 cartridge (C83202*)
EpsonScript Level 2 board (C83209*)

Minimum winter memory

1.5 MB

2MB

You may need to add more memory if you regularly print
documents with detailed graphics, complex layouts, or paper
larger than A4 or letter size. Also, if you use the Page Protect
mode, you may need more memory than shown in the table.

By reducing resolution to 300 dpi, you can save memory.
If you have an EPL-5000/5200 or an ActionLaser 1000/1500

and you want to connect it to more than one computer, you

must assign at least the minimum amount of required memory
to the channel using the EpsonScript option. See your printer

manual for more information.

4 Introduction

Unsupported software programs

The following programs are not supported by EpsonScript:
LaserTalk™
SmartArt™
Because of differences in type design, the TrueType® fonts

printed by your printer might not exactly match fonts printed

by an Apple LaserWriter IIg.

Care and handling

Follow these guidelines when using the EpsonScript option:

Do not drop or bend the option.
Do not store the option in direct sunlight or near a heat

source.
Make sure the printer is turned off when you insert or

remove the option; otherwise, you can damage the option
or the printer.

Do not touch the connectors. If the connectors become
dirty, clean them by wiping the edge with a clean tissue.
Do not use water, alcohol, or other solvents.

Installing Your Hardware

The following two sections describe how to install the
EpsonScript cartridge or board. Use the procedure that applies
to your option.

After you install the hardware, you need to select the
EpsonScript emulation mode on your printer and then select
the printer type using your software.

Installing the EpsonScript

The following procedure describes how to install the

EpsonScript cartridge if you have an EPL-5000/5200 or

ActionLaser 1000/1500.

3.

Gently slide the cartridge into the slot until it lochs in place.

4.

Turn on the printer.

Once you insert the cartridge, you need to use SelecType™ to

select the EpsonScript emulation mode. See “Selecting the
EpsonScript Emulation Mode” later in this chapter.

To remove the cartridge, turn off the printer and remove the

cartridge by grasping it at the center and gently pulling it

straight out.

Installing

This section describes how to install the EpsonScript board if

you have an EPL-5600 or ActionLaser 1600 printer.

You install the EpsonScript board on the printer’s controller

board. To install the EpsonScript board, you need to first

remove the controller board as described in the "Options”
chapter of your printer manual.

board

Caution:

Do not attempt to remove the controller board unless the
printer is off and the power cord is unplugged. Removing the
controller board exposes the electrical components inside the
printer. These components may be very hot if the printer has

been used recently. Also, try not to touch the contacts on the
board because many

After you remove the controller board, do the following:

1.

Hold the EpsonScript board with the CN1 connector facing
down and insert it into the CN3 connector on the controller

board as shown below.

2.

Press the EpsonScript board in firmly until it stops secure the
EpsonScript board with the screws that come with it.

1-4 Setting Up

3.

Reinsert the controller board.
For instructions on reinserting the controller board, see your

printer manual.

4.

Print a status sheet to verify that the EpsonScript board is
properly installed.

See your printer manual for instructions on printing a status
sheet.

To remove the EpsonScript board, remove the interface cover,
remove the controller board, detach the EpsonScript board,
reinsert the controller board, and attach the interface cover.

Selecting the EpsonScript Emulation Mode

You need to change the emulation mode through SelecType
before you can use the EpsonScript option.

How you use SelecType to change the emulation mode

depends on the printer type. See the section below that applies
to your printer.

Setting Up 1-5

EPL-5000/5200 and Actionlaser 1000/1500

First decide what interface channel to use for EpsonScript

mode. Then in the SelecType EMULATION menu, change the

printer mode to SCRPT2 or any one of the multiple emulation

modes that includes PS (PS&LJ-2P, PS&3/P/Si, PS&LQ).

See your printer manual for information on using SelecType.

Note

If a SAVE MEMORY OVERFLOW error (wording may vary

slightly depending on the printer) occurs when you are setting the

printer emulation mode, you must delete a macro used in other

printer modes and try to change the printer mode again. This error

occurs when the current printer mode or modes use too much

EEPROM memory for storing macros and there is not enough

EEPROM memory for EpsonScript mode.

EPL-5600 and ActionLaser 1600

If you install an optional LocalTalk interface and the

EpsonScript board together, the printer automatically sets the

emulation for the LocalTalk (L/T interface) to PS.

Easy installation installs all EpsonScript files and screen fonts if

any font is not already installed on your computer. Normally
you should use the easy installation since this ensures that all
necessary files are copied and that the computer environment
is modified to give you the full benefit of the EpsonScript
option.

The customize installation installs only the files that you
specify. You might want to use the customize installation if you
are low on memory and want to install only those files that are
absolutely required. However, if you have enough memory, it

is recommended that you do the easy installation.

Using the EpsonScript Driver

The EpsonScript driver enables you to use your software to

change parameters for your print job. The parameters fall into

three major areas:

Page layout parameters, including the ability to specify the
page size, orientation, and other parameters that affect the
page to be printed.

Font parameters, such as the ability to add fonts to the PPD
list of fonts and to convert TrueType fonts to Level 1
PostScript fonts.

Advanced options that allow you to add a banner page, flip
images, specify the type of bitmaps, specify the RITech
setting, and control other effects such as the dot pattern and
underlining.

The specific options might vary, depending on your software
program.

Page Setup and Print menus

You access the EpsonScript driver parameters by selecting

Changes to SelecType

When you install the EpsonScript option, the SelecType
settings are slightly changed. Some settings are added to allow
you to change settings specific to the EpsonScript option. Other
settings, which are available for the built-in emulation modes,
might not be applicable for EpsonScript and are not selectable
in EpsonScript mode. Also additional status and error
messages can appear when you use EpsonScript.

This chapter describes how SelecType is different for
EpsonScript mode. See the section appropriate for your printer

type.

Note:

Not all menu items listed in this chapter

are

available on

all

printers.

EPL-5000/5200 and ActionLaser 1000/1500

When using EpsonScript, there are minor changes to both

SelecType Level 1 and Level 2 as well as additional status and
error messages.

Level 1 changes

When you use EpsonScript, the Level 1 menu is changed as
follows:

The ORIENT, FONT, and SUB CONFIG items are not

accessible.

Two new Level 1 menu items are available: RECOVER JAM

and ERR SHEET. These items are discussed below.

The SYSTEM CONFIG menu has some new items added

and some other items deleted.

5-2

EpsonScript SelecType Settings

New Level 1 items

RECOVER JAM

Determines whether a page is reprinted after a paper jam is
cleared. If ON is selected and a paper jam occurs, the page is
reprinted after the jam is cleared. If RECOVER JAM is OFF, the
jammed page is not automatically reprinted. Turning off
RECOVER JAM can sometimes speed the printing of complex

pages.

ERR SHEET

Specifies whether the printer prints an EpsonScript error
message when an error occurs. If ERR SHEET is OFF, the error
message is displayed in the control panel but is not printed. If
ERR SHEET is ON, an error sheet is printed when the error
occurs. This feature can be convenient for programmers using a
non-bidirectional parallel interface.

New SYSTEM CONFIG menu

The SYSTEM CONFIG menu has been modified as follows:

The FULL PRINT, MEMORY LEFT, LOAD MACRO, SAVE

MACRO, DELETE MACRO, and PowerOn MACRO items

have been deleted.

ON (default), OFF

ON, OFF (default)

The PRINT MODE, MULTI GRAY, SAVE LEVEL 1, and

RESET LEVEL 1 items have been added. These items are

described below.

EpsonScript SelecType

Settings

5-3

PRINT MODE BAND (default), PAGE

Specifies whether the printer uses the banding mode or page
protect mode.

Banding mode (BAND), which is the default, is designed to use
the printer’s memory as effectively as possible. If a printer error
occurs when using this mode, you need to expand your
printer’s memory, simplify the page you’re printing, or change
the setting to PAGE. Most documents are printed faster in
banding mode than in page protect mode.

Page protect (PAGE) mode uses data from the computer to

create the entire virtual page in the printer’s memory before

printing. This allows you to print some documents that require
more memory than is allowed in banding mode. However,
page protect mode requires more memory and it may take
longer to print in page protect mode.

Note:

Page protect mode usually requires at least 2 MB. (The actual

memory requirements depend on the page size.) If your printer has

less than 2 MB, BAND is automatically selected, even if you

manually select PAGE.

MULTI GRAY

Turns the Multi Gray feature on and off. This feature enhances

grayscale printing if your software program supports halftone

images. If you want to print your documents using standard

PostScript grayscale, turn MULTI GRAY off.

RES LEVEL 1

Resets all SelecType Level items to their default settings. To
reset SelecType settings, select RES LEVEL 1 and then press

Using RES LEVEL 1 erases any SelecType settings that you
have changed from the default.

Level 2 changes

The only change to SelecType Level 2 is that the EMULATION

menu now allows you to select EpsonScript mode (SCRPT2) or
one of the multiple emulation modes (such as PS&LQ).

Status and error messages

The status messages and error message described in this
section can be displayed when you use EpsonScript. For
descriptions of the status and error messages that are not
specific to EpsonScript, see your printer manual.

BUSY : x SCRPT2

This status message appears when the printer is processing
data in EpsonScript emulation mode.

INIT : x SCRPT2

This status message appears when the printer is initializing the

SERVICE REQ. POxxx

This error message, which rarely occurs, appears when the
printer cannot continue developing the print data. If this
message is displayed, reset your printer as described in your
printer manual.

Notes:

If the SET FULL PRINT error message is displayed, change the
PRlNT MODE setting in SelecType Level 1 from BAND to

programmers using a non-bidirectional parallel interface.

MicroGray ON (default), OFF

Enables your printer to increase the grayscale quality to
approximate 1,200 dpi. If your software program supports
halftones, its graphic output becomes smoother than the
normal PostScript setting. If you want to print your documents
using standard PostScript grayscale, turn MicroGray off.

error occurs after raising the level to 5, set PAGE PROTECT to
