Installing The Printer Software; Installing The Software In Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000, Or Nt 4.0 - Epson LX-300+ Manual

Installing the Printer Software

After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to install the software included
on the EPSON printer software CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
Printer driver
The printer driver is the software that runs, or "drives," your printer. With it, you
can make printer settings such as print quality, resolution, and paper size.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility (Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000 or NT 4.0)
The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility notifies you of printer errors and displays
printer status information.
EPSON Remote! (a DOS-based printer setup utility) (LX-300+ only)
The EPSON Remote! utility allows you to easily change the printer's default
settings from the computer screen. See "Using the EPSON Remote! Utility" in
chapter 3 of the online User's Guide.
Note:
Printer software for Windows 3.1 and NT 3.5x is only provided for LX-300+. If you
need to use LX-1170 on those operating systems, contact your dealer.
