Chapter 2
Installing and Using the Printer Driver
This chapter describes how to install the Windows printer
driver and its utilities and how to use the driver to control
printer settings such as media type, document type, printing
mode, and halftoning. (To install a driver for DOS programs,
see page 2-7.)
Installing the Windows Printer Software
A printer driver is software that allows your computer to
control the printer. You must install a printer driver to use the
printer. The Windows printer driver diskette contains the
Windows printer driver and utilities for PC users.
Also included on the diskette are two utilities: the EPSON
Spool Manager and the Bi-D Calibration Utility. When you
install the printer driver, the EPSON Spool Manager is
automatically copied to your hard disk. You can copy the Bi-D
Calibration Utility to your hard disk or run it from the diskette
when needed. (See Chapter 3 for instructions on running these
utilities.)
Note:
It is a good idea to make a backup copy of your driver diskette.
If you are using Windows 3.1, follow the steps in the next
section to install the printer software. If you are running
Windows 95, see page 2-4 for instructions.
