Desktop publishing programs
Whether you’re a serious desktop publisher or just starting out,
you’ll get professional results from your EPL-7500 if you choose a
desktop publishing application program written specifically for
PostScript printers.
When you set up a desktop publishing application program, select
either the EPL-7500, PostScript printer, or LaserWriter from the
program’s printer selection menu. Nearly all desktop publishing
programs support the PostScript language. If, however, your
program does not have a PostScript driver, contact your software
dealer to see if an update is available.
Note: To print complex pages, you may find that you need to
increase the printer’s 2 MB of RAM. See Appendix A for more
about memory options.
Integrated packages
When you install an integrated package, you should select
EPL-7500 or another PostScript printer from the printer selection
menu. To get the most out of your printer, choose an integrated
application program written for PostScript printers. Most integrated
packages include a wide range of features such as:
l Word processing
• Spreadsheets
l Graphics
l Database capabilities
If a PostScript printer is not available from the printer selection
menu, you can still print with the non-graphics portion of your
package. Simply follow the instructions in the section on setting up
your application program earlier in this chapter.
