Using Your Printer with DOS

To use your printer with DOS, you’ll need to follow the steps here for:

■selecting a printer driver in each application

■changing control panel settings, if necessary.

If you need to clean the print head, use the printer’s control panel as described on page 50.

Selecting a Printer Driver

If driver support for the EPSON Stylus COLOR 900 is not available from your software manufacturer, you can use one of the other EPSON ESC/P 2™ printer drivers. These drivers don’t provide all the EPSON Stylus COLOR 900 features such as 720 or 1440 dpi printing. Choose the first printer available from the following two lists:

When printing black only:

LQ-870/1170

LQ-570 (+)/1070(+)

SQ-870/1070

LQ-850

LQ-500

When printing black and color:

EPSON Stylus PRO

EPSON Stylus COLOR 500

EPSON Stylus COLOR II

LQ-860

LQ-2550
