introduction Two Epson ESC/P® emulation modes for the compatibility with the range of applications written for Epson 9-pin and 24-pin printers. 1 megabyte (MB) of standard random access memory (RAM) built-in, expandable up to 7.5MB for graphics printing and for using three interfaces at the same time when you add an optional interface. Two built-in interfaces: Centronics® parallel and RS-232C or RS-422 serial. You can also install an optional interface and use it as a third channel for data input. Three independent interface channels (parallel, serial, and optional). You can connect up to three computers to your printer and share it by using the autosense feature, which automatically switches the printer to the channel receiving data, or by dividing the RAM to produce a separate area for each channel. An intelligent emulation switching feature allows the printer to switch automatically between PostScript emulation and another mode based on the data received. Also, a shared printer language feature using printer commands. Two paper delivery methods: standard face-down delivery and face-up delivery (with the optional face-up tray) for printing on media requiring a straight-through paper path and for immediate viewing of printed output. Manual feeding directly selectable from the control panel. It is possible to feed and print on envelopes using the manual feed tray. A large selection of international symbol sets to print with the letters, characters, and symbols of various languages. Two IC card slots for adding optional identity and font cards, including a PostScript emulation card. A combined photoconductive, developing, and toner unit in a single disposable imaging cartridge for easy maintenance. 2 Introduction
