About Your Printer Software
The EPSON printer software that comes with your printer
includes the printer driver software, the EPSON Remote! utility,
and the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility for Windows Me, 98, 95,
2000 and NT 4.0.
A printer driver is software that allows your computer to control
the printer. You need to install the printer driver so your
Windows software applications can take full advantage of the
printer’s capabilities.
Note:
Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on
your PC as described in Chapter 1.
EPSON Remote! is a DOS-based printer setup utility that allows
you to easily change the printer’s default settings from the
computer screen. To use the EPSON Remote! utility with DOS,
see “Using the EPSON Remote! Utility” on page 3-20.
The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility program is available for
Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 and NT 4.0. It allows you to monitor
the status of your printer, alerts you when errors occur, and
provides you with troubleshooting tips. To use the Status
Monitor, see “Accessing EPSON Status Monitor 3” on page 3-23.
For an overview of the available settings, see “Printer Driver
Settings Overview” on page 3-18.
