PSB No: P-0085 Page: 4 of 6 16. Q. What is the difference between the EPL-7000/7500 Imaging Cartridge and the EPL-8000 Long Life Imaging Cartridge? A. The EPL-8000 Long Life Cartridge has additional toner which equates into 2000 additional pages. Otherwise, the two Imaging Cartridges are functionally the same. 17. Q. Why does the EPL-8000 have both card slots (A) and (B), and a cartridge slot (C)? A. The card slots are for Epson identity cards. In the future, the Adobe PostScript identity card will work in this slot. The cartridge slot is for HP-compatible font cartridges. Identity cartridges for HP printers will not work in this slot. 18. Q. What are the paper handling capacities of the input tray, output tray and optional equipment? A. The paper capacities, using standard 20 lb. paper, are listed below: 1. Input Paper Cassette Tray (Standard) - 250 sheets 2. Lower Paper Tray (Optional) - 250 sheets 3. Legal Paper Cassette Tray (Optional) - 250 sheets 4. Face-down Exit Tray (Standard) - 150 sheets 5. Face-up Output Tray (Optional) - 50 sheets 6. Manual Feed Tray (Standard) - Single sheets 19. Q. How does the automatic interface switching work? A. Unlike conventional printers, the EPL-8000 can receive print jobs from either the parallel, serial or optional ports. This means that with an optional interface installed, three computers can automatically share the EPL-8000 when they are each connected to a separate port. It is not necessary to connect the EPL-8000 through a network or switchbox to activate the switching of the three ports. Also, no control panel functions need to be made. Optional emulations will require more memory. The printer can receive data from one interface while printing data from the other interface. The first job received is the first to print. Each job prints completely before another begins printing.
