About Making Printer Settings
You need to make some settings for your printer before printing.
There are three ways you can make these settings:
❏ Using your printer driver (software that runs or “drives” your
printer)
❏ Using the OneTouch modes (control panel shortcuts that
allow you to make several settings quickly)
❏ Using SelecType (control panel functions that allow you to
make even more settings than the printer driver)
If you use a Windows application, us e the printer driv er that came
with the p rinter to make settings. For details on yo ur printer
driver, see the driver’s online help.
If you cannot make all the settings you need thro ugh the
Windows printer driver, use the OneTouch modes and
SelecType.

Getting Started
Printer driver
Use the printer driver to easily and conveniently make new
printer settings. Most users may never need to use anything other
than their a pplication so ftware and the printer driver to make
printer set tings. You ca n access the p rinter driver through an
application’s Pr int command, or by choosing your pr inter in your
operating system’s Printers folder or program group. Be aware
that settings you make in your application so ftware overri de
printer driver settings. See the driver’s online help for mo re
information.
OneTouch modes
Use the OneTouch modes on the printer control panel to make
printer settings when you cannot make a setting in your
application soft ware or printer driv er. The OneTou ch modes are
the easiest way to make several basic settings from the printer’s
control panel; however, any settings that can be made in your
softwar e application or printer dri ver overrid e c orresponding
OneTouch mode settings. See “Using the OneTouch Modes” on
page 2-7 for more information.
SelecType
Use the SelecType buttons on the printer’s control panel to make
printer settings when you cannot make a setting in your
application software or printer driver. SelecType has more
detailed op tions than t he OneTouch modes but it may t ake a few
extra steps to make those settings. See “Using SelecType” on page
4-3 for more information.

Ozone safety
Ozone emission
Ozone gas i s generated by laser printers as a by-produc t o f the
printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is
printing.
Ozone exposure lim i t
The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.02 parts per
million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted
concentration over an eight (8) hour period.
The EPL-N4000 laser printer generates less than 0.01 ppm for 8
hours of continuous printing in a closed room of approximately
1000 cubic feet (8' × 10' × 12').
Minimize exposure risk
To minimize the ri sk of exposure to ozone:
❏ Do not use more than one laser printer in a confined area (see
Ozone e xposure limit
abov e)
❏ Do not use your printer in conditions of extremely low
humidity
❏ Do not use your printer in a room with poor ventilation
❏ Avoid long, continuous printing in any of the conditions
mentioned above
Printer location
The printe r should be loc ated so that the exhaust g ases and
generated heat are:
❏ Not blown directly into the user's face
❏ Vented directly out of the building whenever possible

Caution About Turning Off the Printer
Caution:
c
Do not turn off the printer:
❏ For at least 60 seconds after tu rning on the printer. Wait
until Ready appears on the displa y pa nel.
❏ While the On Line light is blinking.
❏ While the Form Feed lig ht is on or blinking.
Choosing Paper
Note:
Since the qual ity of any particula r brand or type of pa per may be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot guarantee the quality
of any type of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing
large quantities or printi ng large jobs.
You can use ma ny kinds of media including stock paper,
envelopes, labels, and overhead projector transparencies. The
printer automatically feeds most types of media from the MP
(Multi P urpose) Tr ay, except f or envelop es. This sec tion desc ribes
each paper feed, which one to use, and how to select and load
paper.
The type of paper you use in your printer can affect the quality of
your printe d output. The smoother the pape r yo u use, the
smoother and sharper your printing looks.
For best r e su lt s, st or e you r pape r sup ply in its original wra pp e r .
Your printout can be marred by moisture absorbed in the paper.
Do not store paper in a humid or damp environment.
Following are some recommendations for selecting paper and
other print media for the pri nter.
1-2
Printing with the EPL-N4000
Labels
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers.
Use the MP tray and lower cassettes to print on t hese material s.
To prevent the adhesiv e from coming in contact with printer
parts, always use labels that comp letely cover the backing sheet
so that no ga ps occur betwee n the individual labels.
Test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a sheet of
paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the label
sheet when you lift it off, do not use the labels.
Envelopes
Printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because different
parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. If the printing is
too light, adjust the print density in the printer driver or the
printer’s co ntrol panel.
Note:
Because thickness and surf ace cha racteristics are especially important
for envelopes, test a sample for print quality and proper feeding before
you buy a large numb er of en vel opes.

Colored paper
You can use colored paper as long as it meets the weight limits
shown in the paper specifications. Do not, however, use coated
paper (paper to which a clear or colo red coati ng has been added) .
Transparencies
You can use overhead projector transparencies and adhesive
drafting film if they are made for use with plain-paper copiers or
laser printers. Load these media into a lowe r cassette or the MP
tray.

Overview
The printer control pane l gives you simpl e co ntrol over mo st
common printer operations. The panel is made up of three
elements: a liquid crystal display, indicator lights, and buttons.
The display and indicator lights tell you the current status of the
printer, and you can use the printer buttons to select settings and
functions. However, software settings usually override these
settings.
Display
The display shows the following:
❏ Status messages, suc h as Warming Up, indicating the printer’s
current status.
❏ Error messages, such as Paper Out, identifying maintenance
procedures you must perform or error conditions you need
to correct.
❏ SelecType options, such as Emulation, which allow you to
