Setting
Up Your Software Programs
Most software programs let you specify the type of printer you
use so that the software can take full advantage of the printer’s
features. Many provide an installation or setup menu that
presents a list of printers.
To take full advantage of your printer’s features, including
ESC/P
2,
choose one of the
ESC/P
2 printers on the list below.
If none of these is listed, contact your software manufacturer
for an update that includes one of these. Until you receive an
update, choose another printer as close to the top of the list as
possible.

If none of these printers is listed among your software’s
options, select the first one available from the following:
LQ,
EX,
FX,
LX, RX,
MX,
Epson printer, Standard printer, and Draft
printer.
After you select the most appropriate printer as described
above, you may want to create and print a sample file with the
fonts and formats that you use most often. Printing the sample
file shows you how the printer works with your software.
If the printing results are not what you expect, see
“Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3 or consult your computer or
software manual.
