About Your Printer Software

The EPSON Stylus Photo 875DC printer software CD-ROM contains all the software you’ll need to use your new ink jet printer. Your printer software includes the following:

Printer driver

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.
