6. Installing & Using Printer Drivers for Windows

Please note: Before starting this part of the set up process, we recommend you

turn OFF all Screen Savers when installing your software and printing to your DTG

Kiosk™. This section of the manual applies to Windows users only, while the next

two sections apply to Mac users. If you have any problems installing the Printer

Drivers or getting your graphics program to connect with the Printer Drivers,

please call the Support Department at ImpressionTechnology for help.

In your DTG Kiosk package you received the Epson 2100/2200 Printer Driver CDs for both

Windows and Mac applications. You need to install the driver CD for Windows to operate the

printer. Once it is installed you can print from almost any graphics software program, such as

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Quark Express, Corel Draw and

Macromedia Freehand.

At some time in the future you may need to update your printer driver and you can do this by

logging on to the Epson website:

http://tech.epson.com.au . Follow the links to the Printer

Drivers section where you can download the latest drivers.

Once you have installed the printer driver you can create special custom print modes which will

allow you to print bright and strong colours and photorealistic images onto textile items. On the

following pages there are instructions for creating these special print modes.

The Epson 2100/2200 Printer Driver includes standard maintenance routines for nozzle checks,

head cleaning, and head alignment, incorporated into the software. However, occassionally

these standard routines are not enough when using textile inks. Fortunately, there is a

Freeware software program available, called the SSC Service Utility, which has a much better

maintenance program with more powerful features than the Epson 2100/2200 Maintenance

software. While it can be downloaded for free from

www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml, we have

included a copy of this program on your driver CD. We do recommend you visit the above web-

site to check for updates and to read the material posted there that pertains to the utility.

Because it is Freeware and NOT written by Impression Technology, we do not offer warranty or

support for this program, but call us if you have any problems as we may be able to help.

Support for it is not available from SSC but the program does have an excellent help menu to

assist you. Instructions for installing the program appear on the next page. It is only available

for Windows applications.

 Double click on the relevant folder (in this version of DTG Kiosk the folder is

called XP2000).

 Double click on another sub-folder called Setup.

 Double-click on a file called Setup and follow the on-screen prompts.

 Windows will install the Epson 2100/2200 driver on your computer and this

driver will show up in your Printers and Faxes folder which you can access from

the Control Panel.
