Using Your Printer With Application Programs

Now that you’ve set up and tested the printer, you can start using it with your application programs.

Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you’re using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features. Many programs provide an installation or setup procedure that presents a list of printers to choose from.

If your application program has a printer selection menu, simply choose the DFX-5000 from its list of printers. If the DFX-5000 is not on the menu, choose one of the following, listed in order of preference.

FX-850/1050

FX-86e/286e FX-85/185 FX-80/100 EX-800/1000

FX

LX

Epson printer 9-pin printer Standard printer Draft printer

Note: If your application program does not list the DFX-5000, you may want to contact the software manufacturer to see if an update is available.

A quick test

After setting up your application program, print a sample document to make sure the program and the DFX-5000 are communicating properly. If the document doesn’t print correctly, recheck the program’s printer selection and installation
