Accessing the printer driver

The printer software contains a printer driver and EPSON Status Monitor 3. The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings to get the best results from your printer.
Use the following procedures to access EPSON Status Monitor 3.

For Mac OS X users, open the Print dialog box and select Printer Settings from the drop-down list. Then click your printer’s icon on the Utility tab.

For Mac OS 9 users, select the EPSON Status Monitor 3 alias from the Apple menu, then click your printer’s icon.

EPSON Status Monitor 3 lets you check the status of your printer. See Monitoring Your Printer using EPSON Status Monitor 3 for more information.
