Installing The Printer Software - Epson Stylus Color 980 Manual

Installing the Printer Software

After connecting the printer to your computer, you must install
the software that is included on the "Printer Software for EPSON
Stylus COLOR 980" CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software CD-ROM includes the following:
Printer driver and utilities
The printer driver runs, or "drives," your printer; use it to
make settings such as print quality, speed, media type, and
paper size. The Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head
Alignment utilities help you to keep your printer in top
operating condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3 (for
Windows 98, 95, 2000, and NT 4.0) or EPSON StatusMonitor
(for Macintosh) notifies you of printer errors and displays
printer status information, such as the amount of ink
remaining. The Status Monitor also guides you through the
ink replacement process.
Online guides
The online Reference Guide and the Color Guide help you to
learn more about your printer and color printing.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, make a
backup copy of the EPSON printer software disk before you begin
installation. If you wish to make a floppy disk version of the
printer software, you can use the driver disk creation utility that
is included on the CD-ROM.
Follow the instructions in the appropriate section below to install
the printer software. If you are DOS user, see "Printing with DOS"
in the Daily Use guide.
