Using Your Printer with Application Software
Once you’ve set up the printer you can start using it with your
application programs. Most application programs ask you to
specify the type of printer you are using so that the program can
take full advantage of the printer’s features. Many programs have
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 printer.
Using printer selection menus
Your printer has three printer operating modes, also called
emulations. It is factory-set to the PostScript mode, and this
setting gives you the fullest range of features. If you choose
another operating mode with the SelecType Level 1 SOFTWARE
option, make sure you also set up your software to match the
operating mode you want to use.
PostScript mode
Check to see that the SOFTWARE option in SelecType Level 1 is
set to PostScript. If not, follow the steps described in Chapter 3 to
change the printer mode with SelecType.
For PC users: Choose EPL-7500 from the printer selection menu in
your application program. If the menu does not list the EPL-7500,
choose any PostScript printer.
For Macintosh users: Check your Macintosh documentation for
instructions on installing a printer. If the EPL-7500 is not listed
among the printer options, choose the LaserWriter
