Print Page29. 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.
