Using The Printer Driver - Epson FX-880 User Manual

Using the printer driver

Before you start printing, you should make sure that the
printer driver settings match your document requirements.
While many Windows applications override the printer
settings made with the driver, some do not.
See this section for instructions on how to access the printer
driver, check the printer driver settings, and change the
settings if necessary.
Accessing the printer driver from Windows applications
When you access the printer driver from within a Windows
application, any settings you make apply only to the
application you are using. The access method explained below
is typical for many Windows applications, but the way you
access your printer driver may differ depending on your
application. See your application manual for details.
To access the printer driver settings, select Print Setup or Print
from the File menu of your application software. The Print or
Print Setup dialog box appears. Make sure that your printer is
selected and then click Printer, Setup, Properties, or Options.
You may need to click a combination of these buttons. The
Properties window appears and you see the Paper and
Graphics menus. Click the tab at the top of the window to open
the corresponding menu. See page 2-6 for detailed information
about the settings on the menus.
