Installing the Printer Driver for DOS Programs
Most DOS software programs include a driver for EPSON
ESC/P 2™ print ers, an d req uire you to s el ect the prin ter name f rom
a list to install the printer driver. To take advantage of your printer's
advanced built-in scalable fonts and graphics handling, you must
select an appropriate driver.
If your printer is not included in the list, contact your software
manufacturer to obtain updated software.
If the manufacturer does not have an updated print er driver for your
printer, selec t an alt ernativ e print er name f rom those belo w, starti ng
from the top.
When printing black only:
LQ-870/1170
LQ-570 (+)/1070(+)
SQ-870/1070
LQ-850
LQ-500
When printing black and color:
EPSON S t ylus PR O
EPSON S t ylus COLOR 500
EPSON S t ylus COLOR II
LQ-860
LQ-2550
Note:
The drivers for the printers listed above do not provide all EPSON STYLUS
COLOR 900 features, such as 720-dpi printing, 1440 -dpi printing and
MicroWeave.
DOS software varies greatly. See the printing section o f your software
manual for information on access ing the printer driv e r settings.

Changing the Print Settings
You can change many print settings such as print direction and
loading position. Becau se these sett ings take ef fect each time you turn
on the printer, they are also called default se ttings.
The factory default settings are designed to meet the needs of most
users, so you may not need t o change them. The table bel ow list s the
features you can select in the default-set ting mode.

For more details, see the next section, “Using the default settings”.
To change a setting, see “Changi n g the default settings” on page 8.
Note:
Most software controls the character table and auto line feed. If your
software controls these features, you may never need to set them with the
control panel.
Using the default settings
Print direction
Your printer has three direction settings: Auto, Bi-D, and Uni-D.
Auto ca u se s th e pr in t e r to switch au to matica ll y bet ween
bidirectional (for text data) and unidirectional (for graphics data).
Bi-D cause s the print h eads to pr int in both direct ions. T his provid es
the fastest printing. Uni-D causes the print heads to print in one
direction only. This provides maximum alignment for both graphics
and character printing.
Note:
Most software controls this setting. If your software does, you may never
need to set it with the control panel.
Font
Use this setting to select the default font.
Pitch
With this setting, you can specify the default character pitch (font
size).
5
I/F (interface) mode
You may need to change the I/F mode so that your print e r and
computer ca n commu ni ca te pro p erly . If yo u se le ct Au to, th e p rin te r
automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that
interface until the end of the print job. This setting allows you to share
the printer among multiple computers without changing the
interface mode.
Check your computer documentation if you are not sure of th e type
of interface your computer requires.
Auto I/F (interface) wait time
If you select Auto as the I/F mode opti on, you can set the inte rface
timeout to 10 se conds or 30 s econds. The p rinter does not accep t data
from another interface unless it receives no data from the current
interface for the period set in Auto I/F wait time.
Software
Use this setting to specify the type of control codes you want to use
to control the printer . If you select ESC/P 2, the printer emulates an
EPSON ESC/P 2 printer. If you s elect IBM X24E, the pr inter operates
as an IBM Proprinter™ X24E. If possi b l e , sel ect EPSON ESC/P 2 in
your application program s. This will allow you to use the most
advanced font and graphics handling available.
Auto CR
This feature is available when you select IBM X24E emulation as the
Software set ting. When Auto C R is on, the auto car riage return option
performs a carriage-return line-fee d (CR LF) operation whenever the
print position exceeds the right margin. If this is o ff, the printer does
not print characters beyond the right margin, and does not perform
a linewrap until it receives a CR command.
AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode)
This feature is available when you select IBM X24E emulation as the
Software setting. When AGM is on, the printer can use highresolution 24-pin graphi cs commands. The default is off.
6
Character table
Character tables contain the character s and symbols us ed in different
languages. The printer prints text based on the selected character
table. For the available character tables, see “C h aracter Tables” on
page 28.
Auto line feed
When the Auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR) code
is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed text is
unexpectedly double-spaced, set t his feature to
on top of each other, set it to On.
Off
. If text lines print
Network I/F mode
If your printer is connected to a single computer, leave this feature
off. If yo u want to shar e the prin ter with another computer, turn thi s
feature on. When this feature is on, data may be present in the
printer’ s buffer even thoug h the print er is not p rinting. Always make
sure the printer does not receive data before turning off the printer.
Loading position
If you want to prin t more lin es on a p age, set th is feat u re to 3 mm. I f
you set the top margin with your software, that setting is ad ded to
the default - se tting value .
0 slash
If you want to use the zero character which has a slash, set this feature
to 0 with slash. Th e slash allows you to easily distinguish between
an uppercase letter “O” and a zero.
Parallel I/F transfer rate
This setting specifies the interface tr ansfer rate. F or most printi ng,
leave this setting set to

Selecting fonts
Your printer has eight built-in character fonts including two EPSON
fonts: EPSON Roma n T and EPSON Sans Se rif H. (Roman T is si milar
to the Times™ font; Sans Serif H is similar to Helvetica™.)
To select a font, enter the default-setting mode. See “Changing the
default settings” on page 8.
Note:
The font selections you make with your software override your printer’s
control panel selections. For best results, use your software to select fonts.
The following table shows the available fonts.

character tables are prin te d with EP SON R om an.
Scalable fonts
The size of the Roman, Sans Serif, Roman T, and Sans Serif H fonts
can be selec te d from 8 to 32 points in 2- p oint increment s through

Aligning the print head
If you find that the printed image is fuzzy or the vertical lines in your
printout are not properly aligned, you may need to align the print
head with the EPSON Print Head Alignment Utility. This utility
aligns the print head to print images clearly. You may need to align
the print head when you transport the printer or move it to a different
place.

Cleaning the printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, clean it thor oughly several
times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and all the printer’s lights are
off. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully clean away all dus t and dir t.
4. If the outer case or the inside of the sheet feeder is dirty, clean it
with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printe r cover clo s e d to pr e ve n t wa te r from ge tt i ng i nside.
5. If the inside of the printer is accidentally soiled with ink, wipe it
out wi th a damp cloth .
Warning:
w
c
Be careful not to touch the gears inside the printer.
Caution:
❏ Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these
chemicals can damage the components as well as the case.
26
❏ Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or
electronic components.
❏ Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
❏ Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants;
unsuitable oils can damage the me chanism. Contact your dealer
or a qualified service person if lubrication is needed.
