SAFETY INFORMATION
`lhis printer is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from
the laser, provided the printer is operated accordrng to the instructions in this manual provided.

Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housings, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

For Europe Usem;

electr~photographic technology. This printer is small and light, and features high-speed,
high-resolution printing. Maintenance is very easy as a result of various built-in diagnostic
functions. The main features are:
L1 No ozone
Q Printing speed -- 8 ppm (pages per minute) (A4 or letter size)
c1 Resolution -- 600/300 dpi (dots per inch)
D Small footprint
c1 Easy maintenance
cl HP@ LaserJet@ 4 emulation mode
c1 45 built-in scalable fonts (35 Intellifonts and 10 TrueType fonts)
c1 ESC/P 2'" emulation
c) High-performance controller (the controller's CPU is a 19.2 MHz SPARKlite (MB86930))
cl Bi Resolution Improvement Technology (BiRITech) r#fh& the print quality by eliminating
jagged edges from images and characters on 600 dpi and 300 dpi printing.
tl Optional EPSONScript Level 2 (PostScript@ compatible) module
la EPSON Micro Gray Technology (EMGTech), which is availabie when using EPSONScript
Level 2 mode, refines gray scale printing to be comparable to printing on a 12~dpi printer
Ct Small and low-cost optional LocalTalkTM interface module
Q 2 MB standard RAM and up to 64 MB RAM with the addition of optioml SIMMS
Q Bidirectional parallel interface
c1 High-speed serial communication rate of 57.6K bps
