Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
This chapter explains how to do the following:
Control the printer using the control panel
Manage printing in Windows and on the Macintosh
Control additional printer functions using the Default
setting mode.
Using the Printer’s Control Panel
The printer’s control panel contains lights for displaying the
printer status and buttons for controlling certain functions, as
described in this section.
Since most printer settings can be controlled from your
software, you do not often need to use the control panel. Use
your software to select printing functions whenever possible.
(Software settings usually override control panel settings.)
