Installing the Printer Software

install the software included on the EPSON printer software
CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:

The printer driver is the software that runs, or "drives," your
printer. With it, you can make printer settings such as print
quality, resolution, and paper size.

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 notifies you of printer errors and
displays printer status information.

Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0" on page 1-18 or "Installing the
software in Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5x" on page 1-19. If you are using
