Using the Printer Driver with Windows

To control your printer and change its settings, use the printer driver. The printer driver allows you to easily make all the print settings, including paper source, paper size, and orientation. To access the driver menus, see below.

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 printer 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 printer driver from Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or NT 4.0, click Start, point to Settings, and click Printers. Next, right-click the EPSON EPL-5800L Advanced icon and click Properties (in Windows Me/98/95/2000) or

Printing Preferences (in Windows 2000) or Document Defaults (in Windows NT 4.0).

Accessing Online Help

You can access Online Help from the printer driver. Online Help provides you with detailed information and instructions on the printer driver that controls your printer. It is automatically installed when you install the printer driver.
