Software; Choosing From A Menu - Epson LQ-850 User Manual

Software

Now that you have set up and tested the LQ, you should make
sure that it works with the application programs you want to use.
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer's features. Many of these programs provide an installation
or setup section that presents a list of printers from which to
choose.

Choosing from a menu

Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many
commands, you can use an application program even if it does not
list the LQ-850, LQ-950, or LQ-1050 on its printer selection menu.
Choose from the following list:
LQ-850/950/1050
LQ-2500
LQ-800/1000
LQ- 1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on
the following list.
EX
FX
LX
Epson printer
Standard printer
Draft printer
To use all the features of the LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050,
however, it is best to use a program with the LQ-850, LQ-950, or
LQ-1050 on its menu. If your program does not list these printers,
contact the manufacturer to see if an update is available.
