Other operating systems The printer can also be used with other operating systems such as Linux
or Unix. In this case, set the printer to the EPSON or IBM Proprinter
emulation for which defaultdrivers are available in most operating
systems.
Changing printer settings You can make permanent changes to the printer settings using the con-
trol panel of the printer (see chapter Menu, page 45). Various printer
settings can also be entered in the operating system of your PC,
however.

Click on the Start button in the Windows taskbar.

to open the printer folder.

printer folder.

Move the mouse pointer to the appropriate printer symbol, press
the right mouse key and click on Properties.
Details of the settings available in this window can be found in the Win-
dows documentation or help pages.
Settings entered in the printer driver via Windows have priority
over settings entered via the printer menu. It is therefore possi-
ble that the former may overwrite the latter.
