    Epson FX There is a slot for an optional font cartridge (for a HP compatible font cartridge) and a slot for an optional font card (for an Epson font card or HP plotter emulation mode card). The printer comes with 1 megabyte of memory, and you can add up to an extra 5 megabytes, making a possible total of 6 megabytes.

  • Page 9: Operating The Printer

    INTRODUCTION Operating the Printer On Line You can print data from your computer at any time, if the printer is on line (see page 14 for how to switch the printer on line). Off Line No data can be received from the computer if the printer is off line. However, any data in the printer buffer can be printed manually by the Form Feed procedure (see page 14).

    Solving Problems: This section explains any error messages that may appear on the screen while you are using your fax machine as a printer. It also tells you how to solve some common problems. However, for mechanical problems such as paper jams, refer to your fax machine’s Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 11: Operation Panel

    To operate the printer, you will use the four buttons marked keys are only for use with the printer (that is, they do not operate as cursor keys when inputting telephone numbers). See your fax machine’s Operator’s Manual to see where these are on your fax machine.
