Setting Up Your Software Programs
Most software programs let you specify the type of printer you use so that the software can take full advantage of the printer’s features. Many provide an installation or setup menu that presents a list of printers.
To take full advantage of your printer’s features, including ESC/P 2, choose one of the ESC/P 2 printers on the list below. If none of these is listed, contact your software manufacturer for an update that includes one of these. Until you receive an update, choose another printer as close to the top of the list as possible.

If none of these printers is listed among your software’s options, select the first one available from the following: LQ, EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard printer, and Draft printer.
After you select the most appropriate printer as described above, you may want to create and print a sample file with the fonts and formats that you use most often. Printing the sample file shows you how the printer works with your software.
If the printing results are not what you expect, see “Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3 or consult your computer or software manual.
