Selecting the Printer Driver

Your printer has several resident printer emulations: HP
LaserJet 4 (LJ4), EPSON ESC/ P 2, EPSON FX, and EPSON
GL/2. The HP emulation is the default setting. Because it
gives you the fullest range of features, you will probably not
change it.
For each emulation, you need to select an appropriate printer
driver. A printer driver translates the margins, fonts, and all
the other selections you have entered into control codes that
the printer understands.
For the HP emulation, use the ActionLaser 1600 driver,
which is included with the printer, to take full advantage
of your printer's features. You may also use any of the HP
LaserJet drivers listed below:
ActionLaser 1600
HP LaserJet 4
HP LaserJet 4Si
HP LaserJet IIISi
HP LaserJet IIIP/IIID
HP LaserJet III
If none of the above printers is listed, select any LaserJet
printer model.
For the LQ or FX emulations, select one of the following:
LQ-570 FX-870/1170
LQ-510/550 FX-850/1050
LQ-500 FX-800/1000

Sharing Your Printer

Up to four computers can be connected directly to the printer
if you install optional interfaces and if each computer is
connected to a different interface port. If you need to connect
more than four computers or if you need to connect multiple
computers to the same port, you can indirectly connect the
computers to the printer by using a switch box.
The ActionLaser 1600 comes with a built-in parallel interface
®
(Centronics compatible) and a serial (RS-232C/RS-422)
interface. The printer has a slot for one optional Type-B
interface board.
