Setting Up Your Application Software; Choosing From A Menu - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

Setting Up Your Application Software

Now that you have set up and tested the printer, you should make
sure that it works with your application programs.
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer's features. Many of these programs provide an installation or
setup menu that presents a list of printers to choose from.
If your application program has a printer selection menu, use the
instructions below.

Choosing From a Menu

Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many
commands, you can use an application program even if it does not
list the LQ-850 or LQ-1050 on its printer selection menu. If the
printer is not listed, choose one of the following printers. They are
listed in order of preference.
LQ-800 (LQ-1000)
LQ-510/LQ-500
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on the
following list: LQ, EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard
printer, Draft printer.
To use all of the features of the printer, however, it is best to use a
program with the LQ-850 or LQ-1050 on its menu. If your program
does not list the printer, contact the software manufacturer to see if
an update is available that supports your model.
