Software

Now that you have set up and tested the LQ, you should make sure that it works with the application programs you want to use. 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 from which to choose.

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 the LQ-850, LQ-950, or LQ-1050 on its printer selection menu. Choose from the following list:

LQ-850/950/1050

LQ-2500

LQ-800/1000

LQ- 1500

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

EX

FX

LX

E&

Epson printer

Standard printer

Draft printer

To use all the features of the LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050, however, it is best to use a program with the LQ-850, LQ-950, or LQ-1050 on its menu. If your program does not list these printers, contact the manufacturer to see if an update is available.
