SelecType Overview

The control panel's SelecType capabilities give you control over most
of the printer's functions and settings. The SelecType settings you
make are stored in memory, and the computer is set up using the
settings every time you switch on the printer.
SelecType settings are divided between two levels: Level 1 and Level
2. Level 1 contains commonly used printing and font selection
settings, while Level 2 is for settings you are less likely to change
frequently.

When to use SelecType

In general, use SelecType only for settings you cannot make in your
software, including the following:
Changing the emulation modes and selecting the IES mode
o
Specifying the channel and configuring the interface
o
Choosing the size of the receive buffer
o
Initializing the low toner setting
o
Switching between the EpsonScript Level 2 ROM module and an
o
optional font cartridge (if both are installed)
You should keep in mind the following points when using SelecType
settings.
A number of SelecType settings can also be made using the
o
printer driver (see the SelecType window discussion in Chapter 3)
and the Remote Control Panel utility (see Chapter 4).
Application programs may send commands to the printer that
o
override SelecType settings. If you are not getting the results you
expect, check your application software settings.
