About Your Printer Software
The Epson software includes the printer driver software and EPSON Status Monitor 3.
The 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.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is not automatically installed when you install the printer driver.
If you want to install EPSON Status Monitor 3, see "Installing EPSON Status Monitor 3" on
page 58 for instructions.
Note:
❏ Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on your computer described in
the supplied setup sheet.
❏ Make sure the printer setting is set to ESC/P2. The printer driver software and EPSON Status
Monitor 3 can only function in ESC/P2 mode.
❏ When you wish to reinstall or upgrade the printer driver, uninstall the printer driver that has been
installed already.
Using the Printer Driver
You can access the printer driver from your Windows applications or from the Start menu.
Screens and procedures that appear in this manual are mostly from Windows 10 unless otherwise
specified.
❏ When you access the printer driver from a Windows application, any settings you make apply
only to the application you are using. See "Accessing the printer driver from Windows
applications" on page 50 for more information.
❏ When you access the printer driver from the Start menu, the printer driver settings you make
apply to all your applications. See "Accessing the printer driver from the Start menu" on
page 52 for more information.
