Setting up your software

The software included with your printer comes on two
diskettes. One diskette contains the EPSON Control Panel for
Windows, and the other contains the EPSON Control Panel for
DOS. You only need to use one of the diskettes, depending on
whether you are running Windows or not. This section
describes how to install the EPSON Control Panel for
Windows. If you are not running Windows, see Appendix B in
the Reference Guide for information on installing and using the
EPSON Control Panel for DOS.
The EPSON Control Panel for Windows is an on-screen utility
that keeps you informed of the printer status and notifies you
when a print error occurs. For more information about this
utility, see your Reference Guide.
When you install the EPSON Control Panel for Windows, you
also install the ActionLaser
works with your software to control the operation of the
printer by translating a document's margins, fonts, and other
selections into control codes that the printer understands.
Note:
Although you can use other drivers, such as the HP
driver, you should normally use the ActionLaser 1100 driver since
it is specifically designed to work with this printer.
When you install the EPSON Control Panel for Windows, the
ActionLaser 1100 is automatically selected as the default printer
in the Windows Control Panel.
