Selecting your printer in the Chooser
After you have installed the printer driver, you need to open the
Chooser to select your printer. This procedure is necessary the
first time you use a printer or whenever you want to switch
printing to another printer. Your Macintosh will always print
using the last printer selected.
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu. Click your printer's
icon and then click the port to which your printer is connected.
Note:
Select AL-C8500 (AT) when connecting via AppleTalk.
Select AL-C8500 when connecting via the IEEE 1394
(FireWire) Interface Card.
2. Click the Background Printing radio buttons to turn
background printing on or off.
Note:
Background printing must be turned on for EPSON Status
Monitor 3 to manage print jobs.
When background printing is on, you can use your Macintosh
while it prepares a document for printing.
3. Close the Chooser.
