Using the EpsonScript Utility

The EpsonScript Utility allows you to manage your printer from a Macintosh computer. The EpsonScript Utility will also work with PostScript or PostScript-compatible printers. With it, you can do the following:

Display a list of fonts stored in the printer, download additional fonts, and remove any downloaded fonts.

Find out information about the printer, such as the driver version, the total number of pages printed, and how much memory is installed.

Send print files formatted for PostScript directly to the printer.

Rename the printer.

Send control commands to the printer, reset the printer, enable or disable the startup page, and edit control commands.

To use the EpsonScript utility, first be sure the EpsonScript Driver and the appropriate printer are selected in the Chooser. Then double-click the EpsonScript Utility icon.

The EpsonScript Utility is installed on your hard disk during the easy installation. If you did a custom installation and did not install the utility, you can run it from the diskette.
