Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
Introduction
The EPSON
®
Stylus
®
COLOR 500 is an affordable, high-quality
ink jet printer that can print up to 16 million colors at a
resolution of 720 × 720 dpi to produce full-color, photo-quality
images. It also produces realistic grayscale images, laser-quality
text, and line art. The printer’s ink jet technology allows it to
operate quietly, keeping your workspace peaceful.
The Stylus COLOR 500 is easy to install and use. You simply
set it up and install the printer driver software as described in
this book. The printer has built-in parallel and serial interfaces,
so you can connect it to an IBM
®
PC compatible computer or an
Apple
®
Macintosh.
®
You can even connect both simultaneously;
the printer automatically switches between interfaces as it
receives print data.
Your printer comes with software for both the PC and the
Macintosh. This printer software includes a “driver” that
controls printing and lets you choose from a wide variety of
printer settings. You can change settings to improve print
quality, speed up printing, or achieve special printing effects.
And to make your selections easy, both printer drivers include
an automatic setting which determines the best printer settings
for the type of data you are printing.
