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.
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.

*2 Custom-size paper is 76.2 × 98.4 mm at the minimum and 220 × 355.6 mm at the maximum, but EPSON

Selecting On decreases the left and right margins from 4 mm to 3.4 mm.
Orientation
Specifies whether the page is printed in portrait or landscape orientation.

When this setting is selected, the printer saves toner by substituting a gray shade for the black 
inside of characters. The characters are outlined in full black on the right and lower edges.
Image Optimum
When this mode is on, the quality of graphics is reduced. It reduces the amount of graphics data 
when the data reaches the memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.
Top Offset
Makes fine adjustments to the vertical printing position of the page.
c
Caution:
Make sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge of the paper. Otherwise, you may 
damage the printer.
Left Offset

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, the standard paper cassette unit, 
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.

Using the Control Panel156
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 Coated, Extra Thk, or Transparency 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 w h en  p r i n t i n g  o n  t h e 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.

Using the Control Panel157
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 in the black and white mode 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.
Color Regist Menu
This menu allows you to make color registration settings.
AdjustColorRegist
Automatically adjusts the registration position of each color relative to black.
Reset Menu
This menu allows you to cancel printing and reset the printer settings.

Clears warning messages that show errors except for these that occur from consumable products 
or mandatory-replacement parts.
