Using Your Printer With Software; Selecting The Best Printer Mode - Epson EPI-4000 User Manual

Using Your Printer with Software

Now that you've set up the EPI-4000 printer and are more familiar
with its operation, start using it with your application programs.
Most applications programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer's features. Many of these programs provide an installation or
setup menu that presents a list of printers to choose from.
If your program has a printer selection menu, follow the instructions
below to get the best performance from your EPI-4000 printer.

Selecting the Best Printer Mode

The EPI-4000 has three printer modes, also called emulations. It is
factory set to LaserJet series II emulation mode and this factory
setting gives you the fullest range of features. Simply leave the
printer in HP emulation mode and choose one of the printers below
from your program's setup menu. They are listed in order of
preference.
HP LaserJet series II
HP LaserJet Plus
HP LaserJet 500
HP LaserJet
Note:
If you use 11 x 17-inch (ledger or B) size paper for most of
your printing jobs, choose the HP LaserJet 2000. For more about
HP emulation mode, see Appendix B.
