Introducing the Printer Software Functions
The printer software includes a printer driver and printer
utilities. The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety
of settings to get the best results from your printer. The printer
utilities help you check the printer and keep it in top condition.
The quickest and easiest way to start printing is to leave the
Mode option set to Automatic in the Print dialog box. This way
you only need to check the Media Type and Ink settings, as
described starting on page 6-3.
Basically, there are three levels of settings: the Automatic
setting; the predefined settings, which are predefined but give
you more control over printer settings; and the custom settings,
which you make to fit your individual needs. These settings are
described in detail below.
To check the condition of the printer or perform a maintenance
procedure, see “Using EPSON Printer Utilities” on page 6-22.
Using the Automatic Setting
When Automatic is selected as the Mode setting on the Main
menu, the printer driver takes care of all detailed settings
according to the Media Type and Ink settings you make (see
page 6-3 for details on the Media Type settings). Most users
will never have to change this setting. However, if your
application program does not give you enough control over the
printout, you may want to experiment with the predefined
settings or make your own custom settings. See page 6-7 for
information on the predefined settings, and page 6-9 for
information on making custom settings.
