About Your Printer Software

The printer driver is the software that runs, or “drives”,
your printer. With it, you can make settings such as print
quality, speed, media type, and paper size.
❏ Utilities
The Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head
Alignment utilities help you keep your printer in top
operating condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3 (for
Windows) or EPSON StatusMonitor (for Macintosh)
notifies you of printer errors and displays printer status
information such as the amount of ink remaining. The
Status Monitor also guides you when replacing ink
cartridges.
