Emulation Menu
Use this menu to select the printer emulation mode. You can specify different emulations 
for each interface; in other words, for each computer you connect the printer to. Since each 
emulation mode has its own specific options, make settings in the ESCP2, FX, or I239X 
menu, as necessary. The settings you can choose from are the same for every interface.
* Available only when an optional type-B interface card is installed.
Printing Menu
This menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as Page Size and Orientation, 
when printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer 
driver. Be sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you can, since 
settings made on your computer always override these settings.
*1Default setting varies according to the country of purchase.
*2Custom-size paper is 76.2 × 98.4 mm at the minimum and 220 × 355.6 mm at the maximum, but EPSON

data when the data reaches the memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.

Language
Specifies the language displayed on the LCD panel and that printed on the status sheet.
Time to Sleep
Specifies the length of time until the printer enters the sleep mode if there are no button 
operations.
Time Out
Specifies the length of the time, in seconds, before a time out when interfaces are being 
switched automatically. The time before a time out occurs is the length of time from the 
point when no data is being received from an interface until the point of switching the 
interface. If the printer has a print job when switching the interface, the printer prints the 
print job.
Paper Source
Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray or the optional paper 
cassette unit.
If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing paper that matches your 
Paper Size setting.
If an envelope size (DL, C5, IB5) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds 
from the MP tray. If you select Thick, ExtraThk, or Trnsprncy as the Paper Type setting, 
paper always feeds from the MP tray.
MP Mode
This setting determines whether the MP tray has the highest or lowest priority when Auto 
is selected as the Paper Source setting in the printer driver. When Normal is selected as 
the MP Mode, the MP tray has the highest priority as the paper source. If you select Last, 
the MP tray has the lowest priority.

Manual Feed
Allows you to select the manual feed mode for the MP tray.
Copies
Designates the number of copies to be printed, from 1 through 999.
Duplex
Turns duplex printing on or off. This allows you to print on both sides of a page. 
Binding
Specifies the binding direction of the printout.
Start Page
Specifies whether printing starts from the front or back of the page.
Paper Type
Specifies the type of paper to be used for printing. The printer adjusts the printing speed 
according to this setting. The printing speed is reduced when Thick, Extra Thk, or 
Trnsprnc is selected.
Page Side
Select Front when printing on the front of plain paper (Plain), semi-thick paper 
(Semi-Thick), or thick paper (Thick).
Select Back when printing on the back of plain paper (Plain (Back)), semi-thick paper 
(Semi-Thick (Back)), or thick paper (Thick (Back)).
Skip Blank Page
Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is available when you print in 
the ESC/Page, ESCP2, FX, or I239X mode.
Auto Eject Page
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in the Time Out setting is 
reached. The default is Off, which means paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is 
reached.

Size Ignore
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn this item on, the printer 
keeps printing even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified paper 
size. This may cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto the paper 
properly. When this item is turned off, the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
Auto Cont
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues printing after a certain 
period of time when one of the following errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem 
Overflow. When this option is off, you must press the NStart/Stop button to resume 
printing.
Page Protect
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as opposed to receiving it. You may 
need to turn this setting on if you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun 
error message appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this setting on and reprint 
your data. This reduces the amount of memory reserved for processing data so your 
computer may take longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex jobs. 
Page Protect usually works best when Auto is selected. You will need to increase your 
printer’s memory if memory errors continue to occur.
Note:
Changing the Page Protect setting reconfigures the printer’s memory, which causes any 
downloaded fonts to be deleted.
Convert to B/W
If this item is set to On and any color imaging cartridges are at the end of their service lives 
when the printer receives a job, you can print the color data with the black imaging 
cartridge by pressing the NStart/Stop button.
LCD Contrast
Adjusts the contrast of the LCD panel. Use the uUp and dDown buttons to set the 
contrast between 0 (lowest contrast) and 15 (highest contrast.)
RAM Disk
Specifies the RAM disk size that is available for the reserve job function. If you select 
Maximum, all of the additional RAM disk capacity can be used for storage. If you select 
Normal, 50 percent of the additional RAM disk capacity can be used for storage. If you 
select Maximum or Normal but the optional RAM disk is not installed, 16 MB of the RAM disk 
capacity is used for storage. If you select Off, RAM disk cannot be used to reserve jobs.

print successfully.

values. The print jobs received from all interfaces are erased.
Note:
Performing Reset All clears print jobs received from all interfaces. Be careful not to interrupt 
someone else’s job.
