Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
Printer driver settings
control every aspect of how your
printer prints, so be sure to select settings that are
appropriate for your images each time you print. If you are
using Windows, see Chapter 2 for information about the
printer driver software. If you have a Macintosh, see
Chapter 3. Both drivers include online help to make using
the driver as easy as possible.
If You Are New to Color Printing
Color printing with the EPSON Stylus COLOR 500 produces
amazing images, whether you print text, graphics, line
drawings, photographs, or documents containing many
different image types. However you use your color printer,
keep the following in mind:
Leave a large amount of unused hard disk space on your
computer to make room for your color images. A full-page
color photographic image may require 40MB or more of
disk space, depending on the resolution. To reduce file size,
you can decrease the size and resolution of your images
using your printer driver and application software.
Color printing takes time because of the complex
processing required to create a color image. How much
time depends on the size and type of your image, the
resolution you use, the speed of your computer, and the
type of interface you are using. (Serial printing takes longer
than parallel printing.) However, the fantastic results make
the time spent well worth it.
