-
- EZ EPSON (EZ) is a printer utility that works with many Epson and compatible
- printers. It was tested on a Raven PR-9101 in standard mode which emulates
- Epson models FX-86e/FX-800, and a Star NX-1000 in Epson LX-800 mode.
-
- EZ allows access to some of your printer's capabilities that are not available
- through use of the front panel switches. Some EZ options duplicate those
- available on the panel, however, using EZ means less wear on the switches.
-
- One useful option that might be overlooked is "Feed Paper" (/F) which allows use
- of the Epson reverse line feed capability. When you wish to remove a finished
- document from your printer, use the option to feed the paper ahead just enough
- to remove the document, and then reverse the paper so printing can resume on the
- page following your document -- saves a lot of paper. Printing at 8 lines per
- inch (/8) will also save paper.
-
- For help using EZ EPSON, type: EZ/H

- switches to power-up settings. Other software may affect some or all options.
- Some Epson settings take precedence over others. Example: /DH cancels /15
- Use /R to avoid unpredictable results (/R has no effect with /H or /F).
- /DA disables before /F execution; /EA enables after /F execution.
