Basic Printing

10.Click OK or Print in your application’s printing dialog box. You may need to click a sequence of these buttons, depending on the application you are using.

While your document is printing, the EPSON Progress Meter (Windows 95) or the EPSON Despooler dialog box (Windows 3.1) appears, showing the printing progress and the status of your printer. (See “Checking Printer Status” on page 1-5for more information.)

Note:

Some application settings override default printer settings (such as Paper Size or Orientation), so it’s a good idea to check the settings in your application before

you print.

Setting Default Printer Options

When you change printer settings through your software application, the settings apply only to the application you’re using. To adjust the default settings for all your Windows applications, you must access the dialog box through the Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 Printers utility or the Windows 3.1 Control Panel.

Make sure all your software applications are closed before you start. If not, you’ll have to close and then reopen them to have the new default settings take effect.

Note:

You can access the default Windows NT printer software settings only if you have the appropriate network access privileges, such as Administrator or Power User.

Setting Default Options in Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0

Follow these steps:

1.Click Start, point to Settings, and then select Printers.

2.Right-click the EPSON Stylus Photo EX icon in the

Printers window.

3.Select Properties (Document Defaults in Windows NT). Then click the Main tab.

You see the printer settings dialog box, as shown on page 1-2. Any changes you make will become the default settings for all your applications and documents. Click OK when you are finished.
