Setting up your software
Choosing the printer emulation
Your printer has several resident printer emulations: HP
LaserJet III (3/P/Si), Epson LQ, Epson FX, and Epson GL/2 for
the ActionLaser 1500; HP LaserJet IIP (LJ-2P), Epson LQ, and
Epson FX for the ActionLaser 1000. The HP emulation is the
default setting. because it gives you the fullest range of features
you will probably not change it.
If you need to print documents already formatted for a dot
matrix printer or need to use programs that do not support an
HP LaserJet printer, you may want to choose a different
emulation.
To change the printer emulation, see EMULATION in
Chapter 4, “SelecType,” in the Reference Guide.
Using printer selection menus
After you choose the emulation you are going to use, you need
to set up each of your application programs for the printer by
choosing a printer name from the program’s printer selection
menu.
For the HP emulation, select one of the following from your
software’s printer selection menu:
