Printing from Windows

When you want to print from your Windows application, you click the print icon or choose Print from the File menu. You can then choose which pages to print, the number of copies, and other options. The settings that describe your print job—whether you want to use color or black ink, for example—are part of your printer driver software.

Note:

If you’re using Windows NT, you’ll need special software for your printer. Contact EPSON if you need printer driver software for Windows NT.

Setting Printer Options from Windows Applications

Follow these steps to check printer settings from your word processor or other Windows software:

1.Click the Print icon or choose Print or Print Setup from the File menu. You see a printing dialog box.

2.Make sure your EPSON Stylus COLOR 800 printer is selected, and then click the Printer, Setup, Properties, or Options button. (You may have to click a combination of these buttons.) You see a dialog box like the following:

3.Click the Main tab if necessary and make sure the Mode option is set to Automatic. This is the easiest way to get good printing results for all kinds of documents, on all types of paper.

4.Choose the Media Type you want to print on.

The type of paper or other media you choose determines the print quality or resolution you can use. See page 14 for guidelines on choosing paper.

Note:

For printing at the highest resolution (SuperFine quality at 1440 dpi), you need to use one of the photo quality media. For the best printing at any resolution, always use EPSON media.

5.Choose Color or Black ink.

6.Set the slider to Quality or Speed. This lets you choose between the fastest printing or the highest resolution for the media you’re using. (The slider is not available for certain media types.)

7.If necessary, click the Paper tab and choose your paper size, number of copies, and orientation. If your software application lets you control these settings, you don’t need to use the Paper tab.

8.Click OK when you’re finished checking your settings. The dialog box closes.

If you’re using Windows 95, you can click Apply and keep the dialog box open.

9.In the printing dialog box, click Close, OK, or Print. You may need to click a combination of these buttons.

Setting Windows Default Options

When you change printer settings through your software application, the settings apply only to the application you’re using. If you want to adjust the default settings for all your Windows applications, you can access the dialog box through the Windows 95 Settings option or the Windows 3.1 Control Panel.

Make sure all your software applications are closed before you start. If not, you’ll have to close and then reopen them to have the new default settings take effect.

Setting Default Options in Windows 95

Follow these steps:

1.Click Start, point to Settings, and then point to Printers.

2.Right-click the EPSON Stylus COLOR 800 icon.

3.Select Properties. Then click the Main tab.

You see the Main printer settings dialog box. Any changes you make will become the default settings for all your applications and documents.
