Installing the Printer Software for DOS Programs

Most DOS software programs include software for EPSON ESC/P 2
printers. You need to select the correct printer software to take advantage
of your printer's advanced built-in scalable fonts and graphics handling.
Most DOS programs require you to select from a list of printers to install
the printer software. If your printer is not included in the list, contact your
software manufacturer to obtain updated software.
If your printer software is not available, pick the first printer available in
the list below.
When printing black only:
LQ-870/1170
LQ-570 (+)/1070(+)
SQ-870/1070
LQ-850
LQ-500
When printing black and color:
EPSON Stylus PRO
EPSON Stylus COLOR 500
EPSON Stylus COLOR II
LQ-860
LQ-2550
Note:
The drivers for the printers listed above do not provide all EPSON Stylus
COLOR 800 features, such as 720-dpi printing, 1440-dpi printing and
MicroWeave.
DOS software varies greatly. See the printing section of your software
manual for information on accessing the printer driver settings.

Changing the Print Settings

You can change many print settings that control a variety of functions
such as print direction and loading position. Because these settings take
effect each time you turn on the printer, they are also called default
settings.
