Now that you have set up and tested the printer, you should make sure that it works with your application programs.
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 menu that presents a list of printers to choose from.
If your application program has a printer selection menu, use the instructions below.
Choosing From a MenuBecause 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 selection menu. If the printer is not listed, choose one of the following printers. They are listed in order of preference.
If none of the above printers is listed, select the first one available on the following list: LQ, EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard printer, Draft printer.
To use all of the features of the printer, however, it is best to use a program with your printer on its menu. If an application program does not list the printer, contact the software manufacturer to see if an update is available that supports your model.
