About Your Printer Software

The EPSON software that comes with your printer includes the
printer driver software, the EPSON Remote! utility, and the
EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility for Windows 95.
As described in Chapter 1, a printer driver is software that
allows your computer to control the printer. You need to install
the printer driver so your Windows software applications can
take full advantage of the printer's capabilities.
EPSON Remote! is a DOS-based printer setup utility that allows
you to easily change the printer's default settings from the
computer screen.
The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility program is available only
for Windows 95. It allows you to monitor the status of your
printer, alerts you when errors occur, and provides you with
troubleshooting tips. To install and use the Status Monitor, see
Chapter 6, "Using EPSON Status Monitor 2."
Note:
Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver on your
PC as described in Chapter 1.
