Introduction

EpsonScript Level 2 for the ActionLaser™ 1600 adds PostScript®

compatibility to your ActionLaser 1400 so you can print files

formatted for PostScript. The printed output is equivalent to

the output of an Apple® LaserWriter® II NTX.

EpsonScript includes a set of 35 PostScript-compatible fonts

that include the following: Fixed Pitch 810 Courier, Dutch® 801

Roman, Swiss® 721, Geometric ITC Avant Garde® Revival 711

ITC Bookman,® Swiss 721 Narrow, Century 702 Century

Schoolbook,® Zapf Calligraphic 801, ITC Zapf Chancery®

Medium Italic, ITC Zapf Dingbats,® and Symbol. Matching

screen fonts are also included to ensure that what you see on

the screen matches the final printed output.

The quality of grayscale images is enhanced when you use the

MicroGray feature, which allows EpsonScript to achieve the

quality of a 1200-dpi typesetter to produce smoother graphic

output than is available with standard PostScript.

The EpsonScript kit consists of an EpsonScript interface board

and two sets of disks, one for the PC and one for the Apple

Macintosh.® Your kit might also include the Local Talk®

interface board, which allows you to connect the printer to

your Macintosh or to an AppleTalk® network.

About This Manual

This manual is intended both for Macintosh and PC users. It is

divided up into the following chapters:

Chapter 1, “Setup,” describes how to install the EpsonScript

and the LocalTalk interface boards. If these boards are already

installed on your printer, skip this chapter. Note that the

LocalTalk board needs to be installed only if you have a

Macintosh.

Introduction 1

Chapter 2, "Installing the Drivers and Utilities,” describes how

to install the EpsonScript software.

Chapter 3, “Using EpsonScript in a Macintosh Environment,”

provides detailed information about using EpsonScript if your

printer is connected to an Apple Macintosh computer.

Chapter 4, “Using EpsonScript in a Windows” Environment,”

provides detailed information about using EpsonScript if you

are running Microsoft® Windows on your PC.

Appendix A, “Changes to SelecType,“’ describes how the

printer’s SelecType menus are expanded to include settings

specific to EpsonScript. Because the default settings are

designed for most computer environments, you should not

normally have to consult this appendix.

System and Memory Requirements

To install and use EpsonScript in a Macintosh environment,

your Macintosh must berunning System 7.0 or later and have

at least 2MB of RAM.

Caution:

Installing EpsonScript on a Macintosh that is running System

6.x or earlier can corrupt the system file on your Macintosh.

If you are installing EpsonScript in a Windows environment,

your PC must be

running Windows 3.0 or later.

The 2MB of memory that comes with the printer is sufficient

for using EpsonScript for most print jobs. However, if you

regularly print pages that contain complex layouts or a lot of

large or complicated graphics, you may need to install more

memory on your printer. See your printer manual for more

information.

Note:

LaserTalk™ and SmartArt™ are not compatible with EpsonScript.

Setup 1-1

Installing Your Hardware

EpsonScript for the ActionLaser 1600 comes with two interface

boards: the EpsonScript board and the LocalTalk interface

board.

In a PC environment, you need to install the EpsonScript board

only. In a Macintosh environment, you need to install both the

EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards.

If your ActionLaser 1600 is already equipped with EpsonScript

and LocalTalk (if needed), you can skip this chapter.

Removing the controller board

The EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards attach to

connectors on the printer’s controller board. Therefore, you

first need to remove the controller board.

Warning:

High voltages are present inside the printer when the power is

on. Do not attempt to remove the controller board unless the

printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged. Also, do

not touch the contacts on the board because many of the

components

can

be damaged by static electricity.

Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable from the

electrical outlet.

Remove any optional font cartridges and the lower paper

cassette, if installed.

Disconnect all interface cables from the interface connectors.

Turn the printer so that its left side is facing you.
