EPSON AcuLaser C3800 User's Guide
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.
