Printer Selection Menus

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

Choosing from a menu

Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many commands, you can use an application program even if it does not list your printer on its printer selection menu. Choose from the following list (the printers are listed in the order of preference):

L-1000

L-750

LQ-850/950/1050

LQ-500

LQ-2550

LQ-800/1000

LQ-1500

If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on the following list.

EX

MX

FX

Epson printer

LX

Standard printer

Rx

Draft printer

To use all the features of your printer, however, it is best to use a program with one of the LQ printers on its menu. If your program does not list these printers, contact the manufacturer to see if an update is available.
