Epson 5000/5500 Printer User Manual


 
Configuring Your Software for the Printer
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
use 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.
Choosing from a menu
Because Epson printers share a great many commands, you can use
an application program even if it does not list your printer on its
printer selection menu. Choose from the following list (the printers
are listed in the order of preference):
LQ-570/1070
LQ-510/550
LQ-500
LQ-860 (LQ-1060)
LQ-850 (LQ-1050)
LQ-2550
LQ-2500
LQ-800 (LQ-1000)
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available from
the following list:
EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard printer, Draft printer.
To use all the features of your printer, however, it is best to choose
a program with your printer on its menu. If your program does not
list this printer, contact the manufacturer of the software to see if
an update that supports the ActionPrinter 5000/5500 is available.
