Identity Cards
An identity card allows you to operate your printer in an optional
printer mode. Two of the identity cards available for this printer
are the Epson PostScript card and the Epson GL card. See your
dealer about the availability of other identity cards.
Note: You cannot use identity cards #5690 and #5691 with
this printer.
You can use only one identity card at a time. The card must be
installed in slot A.
Note: You can also use optional font cards in slots A and B.
Check with your dealer for availability.
Epson PostScript card
Follow these guidelines when using the optional Epson PostScript
identity card.
You must allocate at least 1.5 megabytes (MB) of RAM for the
channel that will use the PostScript mode. This means you
need to add at least 0.5MB of RAM to your printer before you
can use PostScript. See “Memory Options” later in this chapter.
You can select the PostScript mode for one channel at a time
only.
When you are using legal-sized paper, you may find that the
printable area is smaller than you expect. To clear this problem,
decrease the RX-BUFFER SIZE option or increase the available
RAM. See Chapter 3 for instructions on using SelecType, or see
“Memory Options” later in this chapter for information on
adding RAM.
If you set MODE ASSIGN to one of the IES settings, be sure
to turn off the start page printing feature in PostScript. If both
the automatic emulation switching feature and the start page
printing feature are on, the printer prints the start page each
time it switches from LJ-3 mode to PostScript mode.
For more information on the features the PostScript card offers,
see “Switching the Emulation Mode” in Chapter 2.
