Using the Printer Software with Windows
About the Printer Software
The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings to get the best results from your printer. The printer driver also includes EPSON Status Monitor 3, which is accessed through the Utility menu. EPSON Status Monitor 3 lets you check the status of your printer. See “Monitoring Your Printer Using EPSON Status Monitor 3” on page 68 for more information.
Accessing the printer driver
You can access the printer driver directly from any application programs, from your Windows operating system.
The printer settings made from many Windows applications override the setting made when the printer driver is accessed from the operating system, so you should access the printer driver from your application to make sure that you get the result you want.
From the application
To access the printer driver, click the Print or Page Setup from the File menu. You also need to click Setup, Options, Properties, or a combination of these buttons.
Windows XP or Server 2003 users
To access the printer driver, click Start, click Printers and Faxes, then click Printers.
