What Is A Printer Driver; Non-Windows Software - Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

What is a Printer Driver?

The software you use to enter and format your documents
sends codes that run (or "drive") your printer. These software
codes select the font, margins, page size, line spacing, and
other features of the document you are printing. Therefore, it is
important that you choose the right printer driver and install it
correctly from within your software. If there is a problem with
the appearance of your document, a software setting is the
most likely the cause.

Non-Windows Software

Most software programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer's features. If your application program has an
installation or setup procedure that lets you select your printer
from a list of printers, choose the Epson DFX-5000+ printer. If
the list does not include the DFX-5000+, choose one of the
following printers, listed in order of preference:
DFX-8000
DFX-5000
FX-870/1170
FX
Note:
To use 15 characters per inch on your printer, you need a DFX-5000+
printer driver. If your software program does not list this printer,
contact the software manufacturer to see
