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 program allows you to monitor the status of your printer, alerts you when
errors occur, and provides you with troubleshooting tips. See "Installing EPSON Status Monitor 3" on
page 72 for instructions.

❏ Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on your computer described in the
supplied setup sheet.
❏ On-screen displays on the following pages may differ depending on the version of the printer driver.
❏ When you wish to reinstall or upgrade the printer driver, uninstall the printer driver that has been
