Installing the Printer Software

After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to install the software included in the EPSON printer software CD-ROM shipped with your printer:

Printer driver

The printer driver is the software that runs, or “drives,” your printer. With it, you can select printer settings such as print quality, resolution, and paper size.

EPSON Status Monitor 3 (Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or NT 4.0)

EPSON Status Monitor 3 notifies you of printer errors and displays printer status information. See the Reference Guide for more information on Status Monitor 3.

When you install the printer driver on Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or NT 4.0, the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility will also be installed. For information on using the software, see “Printer Software” in the Reference Guide.
