How to / Controlling the Printer
Printer driver
You can control the operation of your printer from your computer by using the printer driver software packaged with the printer. Operation can also be controlled from the printer's control panel by using the OneTouch modes and SelecType menus. You should use your printer driver to make printer settings whenever you can, since settings made in the printer driver override the settings you make from the control panel.
Use the printer driver to make every day printer settings easily and conveniently. You can access the printer driver through the Print command of the application you are using, or from Windows by choosing the Printers folder or program group. Be aware that settings you make in your application software override printer driver settings. See the printer driver's online help for more information.
Use the printer driver also to utilize the Reserve Job function which allows you to store the data of print jobs in the printer memory and print directly from the printer's control panel at anytime. See Using the Reserve Job Function for more information.
Install the printer software into your computer as instructed in the Setup Guide. The Administrator's Guide is also included in the CD-ROM to guide your network administrator when setting up the printer for use on a network.
It is necessary to uninstall the printer driver that has been installed into your computer if you are re-installing the driver or installing a newer version of the driver.
Follow these steps to uninstall the printer driver:
 | Exit all application programs currently running on your computer. |
 | Click the Windows' Start button. Go to the Settings menu, and click Control Panel. |
 | Double click the Add/Remove Programs icon. |
 |
Select EPSON Printer Driver/Utility and click the Add/Remove button. In Windows 2000, first click Change or Remove Programs, and select EPSON Printer Driver/Utility. Then, click the Change/Remove button. |
 | In the window that appears, click the Printer Model tab, and select the EPSON EPL-N2050+ Advanced icon. |
 | If you have installed the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility software, click the Utility tab and make sure that the check box for EPSON Status Monitor 3 (for EPSON EPL-N2050+ Advanced) is selected. Then, click OK. |
 | When the dialog box for uninstalling Status Monitor 3 appears, click OK. This automatically uninstalls Status Monitor 3. |
 | When the dialog box for uninstalling the printer driver appears, click OK. This automatically uninstalls the printer driver. |
 | When the uninstallation is complete, click OK. |
Use the control panel's OneTouch modes or SelecType menus to make printer settings when you cannot make a setting in your application software or printer driver.
The OneTouch modes are the easiest way to make several basic settings from the printer's display panel. For more information, see Using the OneTouch Modes.
The SelecType menus have more detailed options than the OneTouch modes, but it may take a few extra steps to make those settings. See Using SelecType for more information.
The control panel is also used when you print the data of print jobs stored in the printer memory by using the Reserve Job function. See Using the Reserve Job Function for more information.
