29. Q. Can the EPL-7500 print on special paper types such as envelopes?

A. Yes, the EPL-7500 can print on special paper types such as standard

(window-less) envelopes if the paper weight is within the range of 24 lb. to

41 lb.

Q. What is required to connect an EPL-7500 to a Macintosh computer?

A. Connecting an EPL-7500 to a Macintosh requires two (2) Apple LocalTalk

Locking Connector Kits with an 8-pin MINI connector at one end of the

cable. The other end will have either an 8-pin MINI connector or a DB-9

connector dependant upon which Macintosh computer is being used.

Q. When in the HP emulation mode, why do certain programs not print the

correct font sizes?

A. The EPL-7500 has the ability to scale typefaces in PostScript and Hewlett-

Packard emulation mode, whereas a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIP printer

can not. If software application drivers were written in an incomplete

manner, realizing that "close enough" will get the right font on the LaserJet

printer, the output may be different for the EPL-7500. To help

compensate for drivers written in an incomplete manner, the EPL-7500

uses a slack margin of 0.4 pitch when selecting font pitch. Thus, if the

application software asks for 16.67 pitch then asks for 17 pitch, the EPL-

7500 would reuse the 16.67. The reason the 16.67 pitch would be reused

is because the difference between 16.67 and 17 does not exceed the

slack margin of 0.4. If the difference between the current font and the

requested font exceeds 0.4, then the requested font would be used. On

the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIP if 12 pitch is requested but 10 pitch is

the closest available, the Hewlett-Packard would print in 10 pitch.

However, the EPL-7500 would provide 12 pitch (the difference between 10

and 12 is greater than 0.4) due to its ability to scale fonts. The same

holds true for selecting point sizes.

When printing on envelopes, the optional Face-Up Output Tray

should be used.

Both of these items should be readily available from an Apple

resellers. The part number for the 8-pin is M2068, the DB-9 is

M2065.
