If none of these printers is listed among your program’s options,
select the first available of the following: EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson
printer, Standard printer, Draft printer. Because these are 9-pin
printers, however, your graphics printing may not be correct.
Printing a test file
After you select the most appropriate printer as described above,
create and print a test file using the fonts, symbols, features, and
formats that you use most often. Printing the test file shows you
how the printer works with your application program.
If the printing results are not what you expect, see Troubleshooting
in Chapter 3, or consult your computer or software manual.
Note:
When you print full resolution graphics (360 x 360 dpi), the
result may have a slightly smudged appearance. If this occurs,
choose a lower resolution in your application software.
