Installing the Printer Software

After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to install the software included on the EPSON printer software CD-ROM shipped with your printer.

Your printer software includes:

❏Printer driver

The printer driver is the software that runs, or “drives,” your printer. With it, you can make printer settings such as print quality, resolution, and paper size.

❏EPSON Status Monitor 3 (for Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 and NT 4.0)

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 notifies you of printer errors and displays printer status information.

❏EPSON Remote! (a DOS-based printer setup utility)

The EPSON Remote! utility allows you to easily change the printer’s default settings from the computer screen. See “Using the EPSON Remote! Utility” on page 3-20.

To install the printer software, see “Installing the printer software in Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000, or NT 4.0” or “Installing the printer software in Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5x” in this section. If you are using DOS, see “For DOS programs” on page 1-17.
