Section 6: Setting Up Macintosh Computers

Choosing a Printer

Selecting a Printer Before you can choose your printer, the network (AT) version of your EPSON printer driver must be installed on your Macintosh computer. You can download your printer driver from EPSON’s Home Page at http://www.epson.com.

Follow the steps below to choose a printer:

1.Open the Chooser window and click your EPSON printer’s icon. (If two printer driver versions have been installed, select the icon whose name ends with the (AT) suffix.)

2.If your network has more than one zone, click the zone you want. (If your network has no zones, this box doesn’t appear.)

3.The default AXIS 1440 printer name appears in the right-hand frame. The printer name is shown as: AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>, where <nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the AXIS 1440 serial number, and <port> is LPT1. For example: AXIS100086_LPT1.

4.Click the printer name. (By doing so, you see if the AXIS 1440 is correctly connected to the printer.)

5.Use the radio buttons to enable or disable background printing.

6.Close the Chooser.

Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh on the network using the AXIS 1440. To make sure that the printer is set up correctly, print a test page from each Macintosh.

Printer Status You can use EPSON StatusMonitor to view printer status.

Follow these steps:

1.Choose Print or Page Setup from the File Menu. The printer settings dialog is displayed.

2.Click Utility ...

3.Click the EPSON StatusMonitor icon.
