76Printing with EPSON Drivers for Windows

Choosing Basic Print Options

Before you print, you need to set basic printing properties. Make sure you have installed the EPSON driver and utilities from the CD-ROM.

The driver offers automatic settings that optimize print quality and speed when you’re using EPSON media. You can also choose advanced settings for more control over your printer and color management options, as described on page 83.

Follow these steps to make basic settings:

1.Start an application, open the file you want to print, and select Print in your application. You see the Print window.

2.Make sure your printer is selected, then click the Properties button. Or, if you see a Setup, Printer, or Options button, click it instead. Then click Properties on the next screen. You see a window like the following:

Note: If you need more information about print options, you can click the Help button on any screen.

This box shows you the current settings, but you can’t change them from here

3.Select a Media Type setting that corresponds to the paper you are printing on. If you are using a color-managed workflow, make sure you choose media type and resolution settings that match the ICC profile you are using.
