5.If the Stylus COLOR 500 is shown, click OK.

If the wrong printer is shown, the printer may be turned off or not connected properly. Turn on the printer, if necessary, and check the connections; then click RETRY. If the printer name is still wrong, change the port selection in the Chooser window and repeat steps 2 through 5.

6.Turn on background printing by clicking the On button so you can print in the background while using your Macintosh for other tasks. (You must turn on background printing to use the Epson Monitor utility to manage print jobs, as described in Chapter 5.)

Note:

Your system must have at least 8MB of RAM to use background printing. Background printing slows the print speed and may also slow down any software program you use while printing in the background.

7.If you are using the printer’s serial connection on the printer port of your computer, you must make AppleTalk inactive by clicking the Inactive button. (You’ll need to restart the Macintosh after closing the Chooser.)

If you used the modem port, you can leave AppleTalk active.

8.Close the Chooser. You may see a reminder message to change the printer in your applications; click OK.

Now you can use the driver as described in the next section.
