Subject: ActionLaser 1000/1500 Commonly Asked Questions and Answers

Date: 4/2/93

Page(s): 1 of 6 PSB No: P-0095A

Originator: LHT

This bulletin answers some commonly asked questions about the ActionLaser

1000/1500 printers.

What are the differences between the ActionLaser 1000 and the

ActionLaser 1500?

Both printers share the same printer engine. The ActionLaser 1000

comes standard with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Series IIP/FX/LQ

emulation, 14 bit-mapped fonts, a parallel port and 512Kb or 2Mb of

memory. The ActionLaser 1500 comes with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet

Series Ill/lllsi/GL/FX/LQ emulation, RlTech image improvement

technology, 14 bit-mapped /13 scalable fonts, a serial and a parallel port,

and 1 Mb of memory.

Are these new ActionLaser printers additions to or replacements to

the Epson printer line?

A. Both. The ActionLaser 1000 replaces the ActionLaser II. The ActionLaser

1500 is an addition to the Epson printer line.

What ate the major advantages of the ActionLaser 1000 over the

ActionLaser II?

The ActionLaser 1000 is a completely new laser printer, utilizing a new

and improved engine design. The major advantages of the ActionLaser

1000 include:

Faster processor (16.67 MHz vs. 14 MHz)

Universal paper tray that accepts different paper sizes: letter, legal

and envelopes (ActionLaser II accepts letter size paper only)

Higher capacity paper tray (150 sheets vs. 100 sheets)

3. Q.

What are the major advantages of the ActionLaser 1000 over the

ActionLaser II?

con't

Single element imaging cartridge with 6000 page toner life (two piece

imaging cartridge and 5000 page toner life on ActionLaser II)

Memory is upgradable to 6.5Mb on the main board (the ActionLaser II

requires an optional memory board and is upgradable to 5.5Mb)

Optional 250-sheet paper tray (optional 150-sheet paper tray on the

ActionLaser II)

Optional AppleTalk option (not available on the ActionLaser II)

Can an additional interface be added

the ActionLaser 1000 and the

ActionLaser 1500?

A. Yes. The ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 printers accept one of

the following user installed interfaces: buffered serial, buffered parallel,

AppleTalk, twinax and coax interfaces.

5. Q.

Do the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 use the same toner

cartridge as the ActionLaser II?

No. The ActionLaser 1000 and 1500 use a new all-in-one imaging

cartridge. The imaging cartridge comes packed in the box with the printer.

6. Q.

Do the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 use the same imaging

cartridge as the EPL-7000/7500 and the EPL-8000?

No. Due to the small footprint and new engine design of the ActionLaser

1000 and 1500, an entirely new imaging cartridge is used.

What is the life in pages of the imaging cartridge for the ActionLaser

1000 and ActionLaser 1500?

The all-in-one cartridge has a life of 6000 pages at 5% toner coverage.

Do the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 have automatic

printer sharing?

A. Yes. The ActionLaser 1000 comes standard with a parallel interface and

also accepts an optional type “B” interface. With an optional interface, the

ActionLaser 1000 can also be used with the built-in printer sharing.

The ActionLaser 1500 comes standard with parallel and serial ports and

can be shared by two computers. A type ‘B” interface may also be

installed in the printer for additional printer sharing capabilities.

Can the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 connect to IBM

System 3x, AS-400 systems or to 3270 series terminals?

A. Yes. Using the optional twinax and coax interfaces, users can connect to

the IBM System 3x, AS-400 systems and 3270 terminals.

Why is the maximum memory difference between the ActionLaser

1000 and ActionLaser 1500?

The ActionLaser 1000 comes with 512Kb of soldered memory and three

banks of sockets, expandable to 6.5Mb. The ActionLaser 1500 comes

with 1Mb of soldered memory and two banks of sockets, expandable to

5Mb.

Do the ActionLaser 1000 or ActionLaser 1500 require memory boards

for upgrading the printer’s memory?

No. The user simply slides out the printer controller and places the

memory chips on the controller board. The memory chips are the same

standard DRAM chips used by the ActionLaser II.

Do the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 have an ozone filter?

A. No. The new ActionLasers are ozone-free printers. Due to the new

technologies in printer engine design, no ozone is produced.

13.

Q. Can the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 feed different paper

sizes?

A. Yes. The new ActionLaser printers have an internal adjustable paper tray.

The tray accepts up to 150 sheets of 20 lb. paper in various sizes,

including letter and legal size. The internal paper tray may also be

adjusted to accept up to 10 envelopes. An additional 250 sheet letter size

paper tray is also available. This optional tray is placed under the printer,

keeping the same size footprint.

14.

Q. Is there Macintosh compatibility with the ActionLaser 1000 and

ActionLaser 1500?

A. Yes. The Epson AppleTalk interface and PostScript options allow the new

ActionLasers to be connected directly to a LocalTalk* network, or directly

to an Apple Macintosh computer.

15. Q. What is MicroArt printing?

MicroArt printing uses toner with a smaller particle size than that used in

conventional toner. The benefits of MicroArt printing are blacker blacks,

fine line reproduction, no “edge effect” (a printer error that causes edges

to be darker than the center portion of an image), and less toner blurring.

16. Q. What is R/Tech?

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) allows the ActionLaser

1500 to reassemble the dot mapped data to improve the printed image.

This improvement smoothes text and graphics to eliminate the “jaggies” or

jagged edges from text and graphics.

17.

Q. How do I set the ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500 back to the

factory default settings?

A. 1. Turn off the printer

Press and hold the Initialize/Reset button while turning on the printer

until “FACTORY RESET” appears on the LCD display, then release

the button.

18.

Q. How does the automatic interface switching work

with

the

ActionLaser 1000 and ActionLaser 1500?

The ActionLaser 1500 comes standard with parallel and serial interfaces,

allowing two users to share a single printer. By installing an optional third

interface, three users can share the printer. The ActionLaser 1000

supports a single user with the standard parallel interface. With an

optional interface installed, two users can share the printer. It is not

necessary to connect the ActionLasers through a network or switchbox to

activate the switching of the interface ports. Also, no control panel

functions need to be made. Optional emulations will require more

memory.

The printer can receive data from one interface while printing data from

the other interface. The first job received is the first to print. Each job

prints completely before another begins printing.

19.

Can I get a print out of the current settings of the printer?

Yes, to print the STATUS SHEET follow the steps below:

Press the SelecType Level 1 button to enter SelecType mode.

Press the down arrow button (CONTINUE) until “STATUS SHEET

appears on the LCD screen.

Press the right arrow button (FEED) twice to execute the

“STATUS SHEET”.

After the page prints, press the ON LINE button once to return the

printer to an on-line condition.

20.

Q. Is there a separate “FONT SAMPLE” print of the internal fonts and

cartridge fonts?

Yes, to print the “FONT SAMPLE”, follow the steps below:

Press the SelecType Level 1 button to enter SelecType mode.

Press the down arrow button (CONTINUE) until “FONT SAMPLE’

appears on the LCD screen.

Press the right arrow button (FEED) twice to execute the “FONT

SAMPLE”.

After the page prints, press the ON LINE button once to return the
