EPSON Remote

Configuration Manager

The EPSON Remote Configuration Manager lets you change the
printer’s default settings, update the printer with the new settings,
and save them in a configuration file which you can use any time.
This is especially convenient in a multi-printer network environment;
individual configuration files can be created for each printer’s specific
application requirements. The program works on these printers:

❏ FX-880+

®

❏ FX-880+ in Okidata
❏ FX-1180+
❏ FX-890
❏ FX-890 in Okidata mode
❏ FX-2190
❏ FX-2190 in Okidata mode

mode

❏ LQ-590
❏ LQ-2090

Note:

If you are using Windows 2000 and the printer is connected to the parallel
port, Remote Configuration Manager may not work. In this case, do one of
the following:

❏ Before running the program, set the printer driver to the LPT2 port.

Then use Remote Configuration Manager to check or change the default
settings as described in this book. After you finish using the program,
remember to return the setting to LPT1.

❏ Connect the printer to the USB port instead.
