About Your Printer Software
The EPSON printer software that comes with your printer
includes the printer driver software, the EPSON Remote! utility,
and the EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility for Windows 95/98.
As described in Chapter 1, a printer driver is software that allows
your computer to control the printer. You need to install the
printer driver so your Windows software applications can take
full advantage of the printer’s capabilities.
Note:
Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on
your PC as described in Chapter 1.
EPSON Remote! is a DOS-based printer setup utility that allows
you to easily change the printer’s default settings from the
computer screen. To use the EPSON Remote! utility with DOS,
see page 4-22.
The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility program is available only for
Windows 95. It monitors the status of your printer, alerts you
when errors occur, and provides you with troubleshooting tips.
To install and use the Status Monitor, see Chapter 6, “Using
EPSON Status Monitor 2.”
To use the printer driver, see the appropriate page below,
depending on your Windows version.
