your printer. Both http://www.lexmark.com and http://www.okidata.com provide drivers that you can download for free.

To change to the Epson driver:

Go to Start > Settings > Printers (or Settings > Control Panel and double-click the Printers icon)

From the Printers dialog, right-click your Lexmark or Okidata printer icon and select Properties from the popup menu. The printer properties will appear. Under the Details tab (General tab for NT users) you will see your current driver.

Click New Driver to select from a list of new drivers. In the manufacturer list select Epson and in the printer list choose the appropriate Epson driver.

You may be prompted to put your Windows CD-ROM in the drive while the driver change is taking place.

Once you’ve switched to an Epson driver, you must also change the Emulation Mode on the printer to Epson Mode.

Changing the Emulation Mode on the printer (tractor)

How do you know if you’re in the right mode? If you get a series of symbols and strange characters instead of words when you try to print, it means your printer driver and your Emulation Mode do not match.

When you change printer drivers, you must also change the Emulation Mode on your printer. Because you are now using an Epson driver, your printer must be set to print in Epson Emulation. Most non-Epson printers come pre-set to Lexmark or IBM mode.

Emulation Mode is a function of the printer itself. You cannot set Emulation Mode through Windows or MASTERFORM. Refer to your printer manual or call your printer’s technical support line for instructions on changing emulation modes. Instructions for 320x series printers are provided here for your convenience.
