Introduction

Your EPSON®EPL-N1200 is a PostScript®-compatible, 600-dpi

laser printer that uses EPSON’s latest quality-enhancement and

energy-efficiency technologies to print crisp, clean output at up

to 12 pages per minute. The built-in EPSONScriptLevel 2

interface lets you print any document formatted for PostScript

output, including professional graphics formats and special

effects.

Your printer offers a variety of interface options that allow

you to connect up to four different computers or network

interfaces simultaneously. In addition, you can change the

printer’s emulation mode from the standard PostScript to

Hewlett-Packard®LaserJet 4Plus (PCL5e) or four other modes

to give you maximum flexibility.

The parallel C interface lets you connect the printer to an ECP

port on your computer, for even faster printing under

Microsoft®Windows®95.

Easy-to-use software for Windows (3.1, 95, or NT 3.51) or

MS-DOS®makes it easy to adjust printer settings, even when

you’re controlling the printer from a remote location on a

network. And if the printer is right at your desk, you can

change additional settings using the printer’s control panel.

You can also install a variety of optional equipment in your

printer to enhance its operation, such as extra paper cassettes,

additional printer memory, and serial and network interfaces.

Introduction 1

PostScript Fonts

Your printer includes the standard 35 PostScript fonts. When

you install the EPSONScript software, the screen fonts that

match the printer fonts are also installed, ensuring that the

screen display matches the final printed output.

You select fonts from the Font menu of your software

application. In most cases, a screen font has the same name as

the corresponding printer font. In other cases, the name of the

font you select is different from the name of the font that prints,

even though the appearance is almost the same.

The following table lists the standard font names, available

styles, and the corresponding printer font names (if different):
