About Your Printer Software

The EPSON printer software that comes with your printer
includes the printer driver software, the EPSON Remote!
utility, and the EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility for Windows 95.
As described in Chapter 1, a 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.
Note:
Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on
your PC as described in Chapter 1.
EPSON Remote! is a DOS-based printer setup utility that
allows you to easily change the printer's default settings from
the computer screen. To use the EPSON Remote! utility with
DOS, see page 4-21.
The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility program is available only
for Windows 95. It monitors the status of your printer, alerts
you when errors occur, and provides you with troubleshooting
tips. To install and use the Status Monitor, see Chapter 6,
"Using EPSON Status Monitor 2."
To use the printer driver, see the appropriate page below,
depending on your Windows version.
