Installing the Printer Software

All necessary software are included on the "Printer Software for
EPSON AcuLaser C8500" CD-ROM that shipped with your
printer.
The printer software includes the following items:
Printer driver
The printer driver gives you complete control over your
printer with the Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows 2000,
Windows NT 4.0, or Mac OS 8.1 or later operating systems.
With it, you can make various settings such as print quality,
color setting, and paper size.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility
The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility allows you to view
printer status information such as the amount of toner
remaining and check for any printer errors. When the printer
driver is installed, the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility is also
installed automatically.
EPSON Font Manager
The EPSON Font Manager provides you with 131 screen fonts
and helps you manage your fonts in Microsoft Windows.
Online help
Online help gives you instant on-screen access to detailed
information and instructions on printer settings.
Note:
If you wish to make a floppy disk version of the printer software on
your CD-ROM, you can use the driver disk creation utility included
on the CD-ROM.
If you are running DOS, you must use a driver other than the one
included with the printer. See "For DOS Programs" on page 62.
