Installing the Printer Driver for DOS Programs

Most DOS software programs include a driver for EPSON

ESC/P 2™ printers,and require you to select the printer name from

a list to install the printer driver. To take advantage of your printer's

advanced built-in scalable fonts and graphics handling, you must

select an appropriate driver.

If your printer is not included in the list, contact your software

manufacturer to obtain updated software.

If the manufacturer does not have an updated printer driver for your

printer, select an alternative printer name from those below, starting

from the top.

When printing black only:

LQ-870/1170

LQ-570 (+)/1070(+)

SQ-870/1070

LQ-850

LQ-500

When printing black and color:

EPSON Stylus PRO

EPSON Stylus COLOR 500

EPSON Stylus COLOR II

LQ-860

LQ-2550

Note:

The drivers for theprinters listed above do not provide all EPSON STYLUS

COLOR 900 features, such as 720-dpi printing, 1440-dpi printing and

MicroWeave.

For more details, see the next section, “Using the default settings”.

To change a setting, see “Changing the default settings” on page 8.

Note:

Most software controls the character table and auto line feed. If your

software controls these features, you may never need to set them with the

control panel.

Using the default settings

Print direction

Your printer has three direction settings: Auto, Bi-D, and Uni-D.

Auto causes the printer to switch automatically between

bidirectional (for text data) and unidirectional (for graphics data).

Bi-D causes theprint heads to print in bothdirections. This provides

the fastest printing. Uni-D causes the print heads to print in one

direction only. This provides maximum alignment for both graphics

and character printing.

Note:

Most software controls this setting. If your software does, you may never

need to set it with the control panel.

Font

Use this setting to select the default font.

Pitch

With this setting, you can specify the default character pitch (font

size).

I/F (interface) mode

You may need to change the I/F mode so that your printer and

computer can communicate properly. If you select Auto, the printer

automaticallyselectstheinterfacethatisreceivingdata,andusesthat

interface untiltheendoftheprintjob.Thissettingallowsyoutoshare

the printer among multiple computers without changing the

interface mode.

Check your computer documentation if you are not sure of the type

of interface your computer requires.

Auto I/F (interface) wait time

If you select Auto as the I/F mode option, you can set the interface

timeout to10 secondsor 30 seconds.The printer doesnot accept data

from another interface unless it receives no data from the current

interface for the period set in Auto I/F wait time.

Software

Use this setting to specify the type of control codes you want to use

to control the printer. If you select ESC/P 2, the printer emulates an

EPSON ESC/P 2 printer.If you select IBM X24E,the printer operates

as an IBM Proprinter™ X24E. If possible, select EPSON ESC/P 2 in

your application programs. This will allow you to use the most

advanced font and graphics handling available.

Auto CR

This feature is available when you select IBM X24E emulation as the

Softwaresetting.WhenAutoCRison,theautocarriagereturnoption

performs acarriage-return line-feed (CR LF) operationwheneverthe

print position exceeds the right margin. If this is off, the printer does

not print characters beyond the right margin, and does not perform

a linewrap until it receives a CR command.

AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode)

This feature is available when you select IBM X24E emulation as the

Software setting. When AGM is on, the printer can use high-

resolution 24-pin graphics commands. The default is off.

Character table

Charactertablescontainthe charactersand symbols used in different

languages. The printer prints text based on the selected character

table. For the available character tables, see “Character Tables” on

page 28.

Auto line feed

When the Auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR) code

is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed text is

unexpectedly double-spaced, set this feature to Off. If text lines print

on top of each other, set it to On.

Network I/F mode

If your printer is connected to a single computer, leave this feature

off.If you want to share the printer with another computer, turn this

feature on. When this feature is on, data may be present in the

printer’s buffereven thoughtheprinter isnot printing.Alwaysmake

sure the printer does not receive data before turning off the printer.

Loading position

If you want to print more lines on a page, set this feature to 3 mm. If

you set the top margin with your software, that setting is added to

the default-setting value.

0 slash

If you want touse the zero character which has a slash, set this feature

to 0 with slash. The slash allows you to easily distinguish between

an uppercase letter “O” and a zero.

Parallel I/F transfer rate

This setting specifies the interface transfer rate. For most printing,

leave this setting set to Fast. If you encounter problems, set it to

Normal.
