Printer drivers

You must install a printer driver so that the printer can process the data from your application programs.

An original driver offers the best conditions for optimal printing results. All available Windows printer drivers can be found on the CD-ROM en-closed with the printer, and also from our Internet site, from which you can download updated versions as required.

The use of any Windows printer driver from the CD-ROM requires that the printer is set to Epson emulation (see Menu parameters, page 59 and chapter Emulations, page 109).

Form settings (Windows 2000/2003/XP/ Vista/Windows 7/2008)

In contrast to Windows versions 95/98, in which forms are defined in the printer driver itself, Windows versions 2000/2003/XP/Vista/Windows 7/2008 have a central facility for managing form properties and assign one paper feed only.

If you want to set up a form not included in the Windows default settings, proceed as follows.

You will need Administrator rights to define new forms.

1.Click on the Start button in the Windows taskbar.

2.Click on Printers and Faxes to open the printer folder.

3.In the menu bar, click on File and Server Properties.

4.In the window Printer Server Properties, click on Form if necessary.

5.Either select an existing form from the Forms list or activate the option New Form.

6.Enter a form name and the desired values.

7.Click on Save to save the new form.

You can now assign this form to the paper feeds of your printer (see

Changing printer settings, page 15).

The form cannot be assigned if its dimensions exceed the permissible paper sizes of the specified paper feed.

4 Control panel

The control panel allows the user to set some functions in the printer and set up the basic printer parameters on installation. The control panel is located on the front right side of your printer and consists of a two-line LC display with 2 x 16 digits, three keys for controlling the printer functions and four LED indicators displaying the status of the printer.

The functions of the keys depend on the printer’s current mode (status). There are three basic modes.

`The Online mode is the printer’s normal operating mode. Data from your computer can be received and printed.

`In the Offline (STOP) mode the link between printer and computer is interrupted, i.e. no data can be received and printed.

`In the Menu mode printer settings (line spacing, size of the interface buffer etc.) can be changed and saved permanently.
