Installing the Printer Software

After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to
install the software included in the EPSON printer software
CD-ROM shipped with your printer:
❏ Printer driver
The printer driver is the software that runs, or "drives," your
printer. With it, you can select printer settings such as print
quality, resolution, and paper size.
❏ EPSON Status Monitor 3 (Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or
NT 4.0)
EPSON Status Monitor 3 notifies you of printer errors and
displays printer status information. See the Reference Guide
for more information on Status Monitor 3.
When you install the printer driver on Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000
or NT 4.0, the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility will also be
installed. For information on using the software, see "Printer
Software" in the Reference Guide.
