5. If the
Stylus COLOR 500
is shown, click
OK
.
If the wrong printer is shown, the printer may be turned
off or not connected properly. Turn on the printer, if
necessary, and check the connections; then click
RETRY
. If
the printer name is still wrong, change the port selection in
the Chooser window and repeat steps 2 through 5.
6. Turn on background printing by clicking the
On
button so
you can print in the background while using your
Macintosh for other tasks. (You must turn on background
printing to use the Epson Monitor utility to manage print
jobs, as described in Chapter 5.)
Note:
Your system must have at least 8MB of RAM to use background
printing. Background printing slows the print speed and may
also slow down any software program you use while printing in
the background.
7. If you are using the printer’s serial connection on the printer
port of your computer, you must make AppleTalk inactive
by clicking the
Inactive
button. (You’ll need to restart the
Macintosh after closing the Chooser.)
If you used the modem port, you can leave AppleTalk
active.
8. Close the Chooser. You may see a reminder message to
change the printer in your applications; click
OK
.
Now you can use the driver as described in the next section.
