Using the Printer Driver / For Macintosh

System Requirements

To use the printer software, your Macintosh must be running one of the following operating systems:

Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x
Mac OS X, version 10.1.2 and higher

Caution:

Do not install the PostScript printer driver (for the EPL-6200 only) included in the CD-ROM that shipped with your printer on a computer running System 8.5 or earlier. Installing the PostScript printer driver on earlier systems can corrupt them.

The PostScript printer driver (for the EPL-6200 only) included in the CD-ROM that shipped with your printer cannot be used on Macintosh 68K computers.

Note:

When printing via the USB port from a Power Macintosh running Mac0S 8.6 or 9.x, the printer must be set to handle ASCII data. To specify this setting, select Print from the File menu of the application that you are using, and then select the name of the application from the options available in the Print dialog box. On the setup option page that appears, select ASCII for the data format setting. The actual setting name varies by application, but is often called Encoding or Data.

For best results, you should connect the printer directly to the computer's USB port. If multiple USB hubs must be used, we recommend that you connect the printer to the first-tier hub.
