Installing the Printer Software
After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to
install the software included on the EPSON printer software
CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
❏ Printer driver
The printer driver is the software that runs, or “drives,” your
printer. With it, you can make printer settings such as print
quality, resolution, and paper size.
❏ EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility (Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or
NT 4.0)
The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility notifies you of printer
errors and displays printer status information.
❏ EPSON Remote! (a DOS-based printer setup utility) (LX-300+
only)
The EPSON Remote! utility allows you to easily change the
printer’s default settings from the computer screen. See
“Using the EPSON Remote! Utility (LX-300+ only)” on page
3-16.
To install the printer software, see “Installing the software in
Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000, or NT 4.0” on page 1-20 or “Installing
the software in Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5x” on page 1-21. If you are
using DOS, see “For DOS programs” on page 1-23.
Note:
Printer software for Windows 3.1 and NT 3.5x is only provided for
LX-300+. If you need to use LX-1170 on those operating systems,
contact your dealer.
