Choosing Basic Print Options

Before you print, you need to set basic printing properties. The EPSON driver offers automatic settings that optimize print quality and speed when you’re using EPSON media. You can also choose advanced settings for more control over your printer and color management options, as described on page 117.

Follow these steps to make basic settings:

1.Start an application, open a file, and choose Print from the File menu. You see the Print dialog box.

2.Make sure your printer is selected, and then click the Properties button (or Preferences on Windows XP). If you see a Setup, Printer, or Options button, click it instead. Then click Properties or Preferences on the next dialog box.
