Printer Selection Menus
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you’re
using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s
features. Many programs provide an installation or setup procedure that
presents a list of printers to choose from.
Choosing from a menu
Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many commands,
you can use an application program even if it does not list your printer
on its printer selection menu. Choose from the following list (the printers
are listed in the order of preference):
T-1000/Lx-400
LX-800
FX-86e/FX-850
LX printer
FX printer
Epson printer
Draft printer
Note: If your application program does not list your printer, you may
want to contact the manufacturer to find out whether an update is
available.
A quick test
After setting up your application program, print a sample document to
be sure the program and the printer are communicating properly. If the
document doesn’t print correctly, recheck the program’s printer selection
and installation procedure. If you’re still having trouble printing, consult
Chapter 4.
