Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
This chapter describes how to install and use the Stylus
COLOR 500 Windows printer software on your PC. If you have
a Macintosh, see Chapter 3 instead.
The printer software includes a printer driver, which allows
your computer to control the printer; you must install it to use
the printer. The printer driver lets you choose from a wide
variety of settings to customize the appearance of your printed
documents.
The printer software also includes the Spool Manager, which
manages your printing, and the Calibration utility, which you
can use to adjust the vertical alignment of your printouts. See
Chapter 5 for information on the Spool Manager and Chapter 6
for instructions on using the Calibration utility.
Note:
Be sure to make backup copies of your software diskettes.
