The setting (any number from 0 through is the number of Kbytes reserved in RAM for page composition.
Page 84 Since the amount of RAM you reserve with this option is not available for any other purpose, it is best to leave the setting at 0 until you see a SET FULL PRINT message. Then, increase the setting in small increments until the error does not occur. If FULL PRINT is set to the maximum value, the SET FULL PRINT error is not displayed.
Page 85 SelecType Options This option displays the amount of memory available. You can use this information to see whether a newly-installed memory option is working correctly or to see how much memory you have available for fonts or complex graphics. Use this option to load one of the macros you’ve created using the macro save option.
Page 86 You can save up to four different settings for each channel. However, if you are sharing the printer, and if you use the same operating mode for both channels, avoid using the same macro number for both channels to save different settings.
Page 87: Level 2 Options
Use this option to specify the macro number you want to use as the power-on default for each operating mode. Each time you turn the printer on, the macro you have set with this option is in effect. Select macro 0 to use the factory default settings.

Page 94 When DSR (Data Set Ready) is off, the signal level is permanently set HIGH, allowing the printer to send data to the computer. For most communications purposes, this option should be set to OFF (signal level HIGH). When DSR is on, data is sent to the computer only when DSR is HIGH.
Page 95 Appendix A. The printer has MB RAM to share the printer. If you set this option before adding memory, you could damage your printer. This option specifies the proportion of memory for channel S and Channel P.
Page 96 5 to 95 (in steps of 5) This option sets the time for a channel timeout. If the printer is on line and no new data is sent for the number of seconds specified, and there is data in the other channel, the printer automatically switches the current channel to the other.
Page 97 This option (printer configuration save) is similar to the SAVE MACRO option in Level 1. Use it to save settings you make in Level 2 so they take effect each time you turn the printer on. FACTORY RESET returns all Level 1 and Level 2 settings to their factory settings.
Page 98 The standby mode is designed to save power by reducing the power to the fixing heater whenever no panel buttons are pushed or no data sent to the printer for 30 minutes. In this mode the printer begins warming up as soon as you press any button or send any data, becoming ready to print within 70 seconds.
Page 99: Choosing A Font
Choosing a Font The FONT option is different for each printer mode. This section describes the available submenus of the FONT option in each mode. You can use the STATUS SHEET option to print out a list of the fonts that are available.

Some lines that extend completely to the margins Features that you can control with your software, such as bold or underlined text Some graphics (if you choose an EPL-7000 or HP LaserJet series IIP driver) Headers and footers (if your software supports them).
Page 130: Controlling The Printer
Controlling the Printer Most application programs contain a number of built-in functions that you can use to control the printer. When you use these features, special codes are inserted into your document by the program. When you print a document, these special codes are converted by the application program into commands understood by the printer.
Page 131: Graphics Programs
When buying graphics software, make sure the program has an option to print on an EPL-7000 or HP LaserJet series IIP printer. Programs listing these options should provide you with excellent results.
