Using Font Cards
Font cards allow you to use many different styles of type in addition
to the internal fonts resident in your printer. The EPI-4000 has two
slots for font cards, and a variety of font cards are available from
your Epson dealer.
Compatible Font Cards
Check with your Epson dealer for a list of the font cards available
for the EPI-4000. The manual for each font card contains samples of
the characters and symbol sets the font card provides.
Note: You cannot use identity cards #5690 and #5691 with the
EPI-4000.
You can use each font card in only certain printer modes, See the
font card manual for information on the printer mode (HP, LQ, or
FX emulation) to use. The EPI-4000’s default (factory) setting is HP
emulation mode. To change the printer mode, use the SelecType
printer mode menu described in Chapter 2.
Caring for Font Cards
When you use font cards, follow these precautions:
l
Do not drop, bend, or crush font cards. The card’s natural
curvature does not affect its operation, so do not try to
straighten a card by bending it.
l
Avoid touching the small gold connectors (contacts) along the
card’s edge.
l
If the card becomes dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the
connector edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or
other solvents to clean the card.
