Using The Fx With Application Programs; Using Printer Selection Menus - Epson FX-1050 User Manual

Using the FX with Application Programs

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

Using printer selection menus

If your software has a printer selection menu, simply choose FX-850 or
FX-1050. If the menu does not list either of these printers, choose one of
the following. They are listed in order of preference.
FX-850

If you plan to use the IBM emulation mode, choose IBM Proprinter (if
you have an FX-850), IBM Proprinter XL (if you have an FX-1050), IBM
Graphics printer, or IBM printer, in that order of preference.
