Installing the Printer Driver
The printer driver is provided on the “EPSON EPL-5800 Printer
Software” CD-ROM shipped with your printer. It gives you
control over your printer with Microsoft Windows Me/2000/98/
95/3.1, Microsoft Windows NT
®
4.0/3.51, or Mac OS 8.1 or later.
With it, not only can you make basic printer settings like paper
size and orientation, but also have access to a whole range of other
options that will help you optimize the use of your printer.
When you install the printer driver, the EPSON Status Monitor 3
utility is also automatically installed. This utility gives you the
option to view printer information such as the remaining amount
of toner, and can be set up to notify you of errors when they occur.
Refer to the
Reference Guide
for more information on the utility.
