Configuring Your Software for the Printer

Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you use so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features. Many of these programs provide an installation or setup section that presents a list of printers.

Choosing from a menu

Because Epson printers share a great many commands, you can use an application program even if it does not list your printer on its printer selection menu. Choose from the following list (the printers are listed in the order of preference):

LQ-570/1070LQ-510/550LQ-500LQ-860 (LQ-1060)LQ-850 (LQ-1050)LQ-2550LQ-2500LQ-800 (LQ-1000)LQ-1500

If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available from the following list:

EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard printer, Draft printer.

To use all the features of your printer, however, it is best to choose a program with your printer on its menu. If your program does not list this printer, contact the manufacturer of the software to see if an update that supports the ActionPrinter 5000/5500 is available.
