Controlling the Printer There are two ways to control your printer and change its
settings:
The printer driver (for Windows users)
The Remote Control Panel utility (for DOS users)
Normally, you use the printer driver to control your printer.
The printer driver allows you to easily make the most common
print settings, including the paper source, paper size, and
orientation. To access the driver menus, see below.
A few software programs do not allow you to control printer
settings using the printer driver. In these cases , you can use the
Remote Control Panel utility to adjust the printer settings. For
information on using this utility, see Chapter 5.
Accessing the printer driver
You can access your printer driver directly from most
Windows-based applications, or from your Windows operating
system, as explained below. The printer driver settings made
from many Windows applications override settings made
when the driver is accessed from the operating system, so in
most cases you should access the driver from your application
to make sure you get the results you want.
To access the driver from your application software, click
the Print or Page Setup command on the File menu. You
also may need to click Setup, Options, Properties, or a
combination of these buttons.
To access the driver from Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11,
double-click the Control Panel icon in the Main program
group, then double-click the Printers icon. Choose EPSON
EPL-5700 from the Installed Printers list and click Setup.
