About Your Printer Software

The Epson software includes the printer driver software and
EPSON Status Monitor 3.
The 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 Status Monitor 3 program allows you to monitor the
status of your printer, alerts you when errors occur, and provides
you with troubleshooting tips. Status Monitor 3 is automatically
installed when you install the printer driver.
Note:
❏ Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer driver
on your computer as described in "Installing the Printer Software"
on page 13.
❏ Make sure the software setting is set to ESC/P. The printer driver
software and EPSON Status Monitor 3 can only function in ESC/P
mode.

❏ When you access the printer driver from a Windows
application, any settings you make apply only to the
