Installing The Printer Software In Your Pc - Epson STYLUS PRO 5000 Setup Manual

Installing the Printer Software in Your PC

After connecting the printer to your computer, install the
Windows-based printer software. It is provided on the
CD-ROM(s) shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
Printer driver
The printer driver gives you complete control over your
printer, and it allows you to make settings such as Print
Quality, Media Type, and Paper Size.
Utilities
The Status Monitor 2 utility allows you to check the current
status of your printer. The Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning,
and Print Head Alignment utilities help you to keep your
printer in top operating condition.
Online help
Online help gives you instant on-screen access to detailed
information and instructions on how to use your printer.
If you use Windows 95, see the next section for installation
instructions. If you use Windows NT 4.0 and plan to connect
your printer directly to your computer, also see the next
section. If you use Windows NT 4.0 and plan to use your
printer over a network, see page 2-18. If you use Windows 3.1,
see page 2-22.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, before
you begin installation, make a backup copy of the EPSON
printer software disk. If you wish to make a floppy disk version
of the printer software that comes on CD-ROM, you can use the
driver disk creation utility included on the CD. See page 2-12
for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, or page 2-22 for
Windows 3.1.
