Printing from Windows

When you want to print from your Windows application,
you click the print icon or choose Print from the File menu.
You can then choose which pages to print, the number of
copies, and other options. The settings that describe your
print job—whether you want to use color or black ink, for
example—are part of your printer driver software.
Note:
If you're using Windows NT, you'll need special software for
your printer. Contact EPSON if you need printer driver
software for Windows NT.

3. Click the Main tab if necessary and make sure the Mode
option is set to Automatic. This is the easiest way to get
good printing results for all kinds of documents, on all
types of paper.
4. Choose the Media Type you want to print on.
The type of paper or other media you choose determines
the print quality or resolution you can use. See page 14 for
guidelines on choosing paper.
5. Choose Color or Black ink.
6. Set the slider to Quality or Speed. This lets you choose
between the fastest printing or the highest resolution for
the media you're using. (The slider is not available for
certain media types.)
7. If necessary, click the Paper tab and choose your paper
size, number of copies, and orientation. If your software
application lets you control these settings, you don't need
to use the Paper tab.
8. Click OK when you're finished checking your settings.
The dialog box closes.
If you're using Windows 95, you can click Apply and
keep the dialog box open.
9. In the printing dialog box, click Close, OK, or Print. You
may need to click a combination of these buttons.
Setting Windows Default Options
When you change printer settings through your software
application, the settings apply only to the application you're
using. If you want to adjust the default settings for all your
Windows applications, you can access the dialog box
through the Windows 95 Settings option or the Windows
3.1 Control Panel.
Make sure all your software applications are closed before
you start. If not, you'll have to close and then reopen them
to have the new default settings take effect.
