                                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.

1.1 FEATURES
The EPSON@ EPL-9000 is a non-impact page printer that combines a semi-conductor laser with
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
D    High-speed parallel communication rate of approximately 400 KB/second
D    A multi-user, multi-emulation mode
c1   ES (Intelligent Emulation Switch) allows switching between EPSONScript mode and another
     mode
c1   SPL (Shared Printer Language) enables switching of the printer mode by command
