Epson Stylus Color 680 Setup Manual page 5

Your printer software includes:
Printer driver and utilities
The printer driver runs, or "drives," your printer; use it to make settings
such as print quality, speed, media type, and paper size. The Nozzle
Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head Alignment utilities help you
keep your printer in top operating condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3
(for Windows 98, 95, 2000, and NT 4.0) or EPSON StatusMonitor (for
Macintosh) notifies you of printer errors and displays printer status
information such as the amount of ink remaining. The Status Monitor
also guides you through the ink replacement process.
Online guides
The online Reference Guide helps you learn more about your printer.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, make a backup copy
of the EPSON printer software disk before you begin installation. If you
wish to make a floppy disk version of the printer software on your CD-
ROM, you can use the driver disk creation utility included on the CD.
Refer to the appropriate section below.
Installing in Windows 98, 95, 2000, and NT 4.0
Follow the instructions in this section to install the printer software and
then, for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 USB users, to ensure that the USB
driver is installed correctly.
Note:
When using Windows 2000, you must follow the steps below to install the
printer software; otherwise, Microsoft's Universal driver may be installed
instead. To check if the Universal driver has been installed, open the Printers
folder and right-click the icon for your printer. To open the printer driver, click
Printer Preferences on the shortcut menu that appears, then right-click
anywhere in the driver. If About is displayed in the shortcut menu that
appears, click it. A message box with the words "Unidrv Printer Driver"
appears. You must reinstall the printer software as described below. If About
is not displayed, the printer software has been installed correctly.
If the Digital Signature Not Found dialog box appears during the installation
process, click Yes. If you click No, you will have to return to step 1 and install
the printer software again.
