Controlling the Printer
There are a two ways to control your printer and change its
settings:
❏ The printer driver (for Windows users only)
❏ Control Panel operation (SelecType)
Normally, you should use the printer driver to control your
printer. The printer driver allows you to easily make the most
common printer settings, including the paper source, paper size,
and orientation. To access the driver menus, see below.
A few software programs do not allow you to control printer
setting using the printer driver. In these cases, you can use the
printer’s control panel to adjust the printer settings. For
information on using the control panel, see Chapter 5.
Accessing the printer driver
You can access your printer driver directly from most Windows-
based applications, or from your Windows operating system, as
explained below. The printer driver settings made from many
Windows applications override settings made when the driver is
accessed from the operating system, so in most cases you should
access the driver from your application to make sure you get the
results you want.
❏ To access the printer driver from your application software,
click the
Print
or
Page Setup
command on the File menu.
You also need to click
Setup
,
Options
,
Properties
, or a
combination of these buttons.
❏ To access the driver from Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11 for
Workgroups, double-click the
Control Panel
icon in the Main
program group, then double-click the
Printers
icon. Choose
your EPSON printer from the Installed Printers list and click
Setup
.
