How to / Functions of the Printer Driver

Making Settings for Printer Options

For Windows 98/95, Windows 2000 users
For Windows NT 4.0 users

When you install options in the printer, you need to make certain settings before you start printing.

For Windows 98/95, Windows 2000 users

If you have installed any options in the printer, you need to make sure that the printer driver has properly recognized the installation.

Note:
When the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility is running and the printer is turned on, information on installed options is automatically transmitted to the computer and made to appear in the printer driver's Optional Settings tab.

Follow these steps to make the necessary settings for your installed options:

Double-click the My Computer icon and double-click the Printers folder.

Right-click the icon of your printer, and click Properties (Windows 98/95) or Printing Preference (Windows 2000).

Click the Optional Settings tab.

If Update the Printer Option Info Automatically is selected in the Optional Settings tab and the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility is running while the printer is turned on, information on installed options is automatically transmitted to the computer. If Update the Printer Option Info Manually is selected instead, you will have to set this information manually as described in steps 5 and 6.

Click the Settings button in the Optional Settings tab. The Optional Settings dialog box appears.

Make the appropriate settings for the installed options, then click OK.
