Introduction
Your EPSON
®
EPL-N2000 is a 600-dpi laser printer that uses
EPSON's latest quality-enhancement (MicroGray
™
and
Resolution Improvement Technology) to print crisp, clean
output at up to 20 pages per minute. It emulates the Hewlett-
Packard
®
LaserJet
™
printer, allowing you to print using the wide
variety of software programs that support HP LaserJet printers.
Your printer comes with a standard Ethernet interface card and
built-in software that allows multiple network users to connect
to the printer and control print operations remotely, eliminating
the need for a separate print server. Because the Ethernet card
supports multiple protocols and automatically detects the
protocols on your network, you can print to the EPL-N2000 from
DOS
, Microsoft
®
Windows
®
, Apple
®
Macintosh
®
, UNIX, and
IBM
®
OS/2
®
applications.
You can change your printer’s emulation mode from the
standard LJ4 (PCL5e) to four other modes to give you maximum
flexibility. In addition, if you’ve installed the optional
EPSONScript
®
Level 2 module, you can print any document
formatted for PostScript,
®
including professional graphics
formats and special effects.
The two built-in parallel B and C interfaces let you connect the
printer to an ECP port on your computer for even faster printing
under Microsoft Windows 95.
®
You can also install a variety of optional equipment to enhance
your printer’s operation, such as extra paper cassettes,
additional memory, LocalTalk,
®
coax, twinax, and serial
interfaces, and a duplex unit that enables you to print on both
sides of the page.
