Using profiles
A profile is a specific set of printer settings. If you often re-use the same
printer settings, you can create a profile to easily update your printer with
predefined settings.
There are three ways to create a profile:
Use the EPSON Control Panel for DOS to change the printer settings
as needed. Then choose Save
Profile in the File
menu. This brings up
a dialog box that prompts you to assign a filename and choose the
directory in which to stare the profile. When you complete the
information in the dialog box, choose OK.
Open an existing profile and modify the settings of the profile. To do
so, use Open Profile in the File menu to open an existing
profile.
Change just those settings that you want to change and then choose
Save As in the File menu Enter a new filename and choose the
directory in which to save the
profile.
Use the settings currently in use by the printer to create a profile. To
do
so, choose Import Profile From Printer in
the File menu. This
brings up a dialog box that prompts you to name the profile and
choose the directory in which to store it.
When you open a profile, you can export the printer settings described by
the profile by using the Export
Profile to Printer
item on the File menu
