About Your Printer Software
The EPSON printer software that comes with your printer
includes the printer driver software, the EPSON Status Monitor
2 utility for use with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95, and the EPSON
Remote! utility for use with DOS programs.
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.
The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility program allows you
(Windows 95 users) to monitor the status of your printer, alerts
you when errors occur, and provides you with troubleshooting
tips. EPSON Remote! is a DOS-based printer setup utility that
allows you to easily change the printer’s default settings.
For instructions on installing the printer software, see the next
section if you are using Windows 95, page 2-8 for Windows 3.1,
page 2-12 for Windows NT 4.0, or page 2-15 for Windows NT
3.5x. See page 2-19 for DOS programs.
Note:
Before you install the printer software, it is best to make backup copies of
the EPSON printer software disks.
