Chapter 3 Using the Printer Driver 40
For Windows Users
About the Printer Driver
The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings
to get the best results from your printer. The printer driver also
includes the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility, which is accessed
through the
Utility tab. The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility lets
you check the status of your printer. See “About the EPSON Status
Monitor 3 utility” on page 50 for more information.
Accessing the Printer Driver
You can access the printer driver directly from any application
programs, from your Windows operating system.
The printer settings made from many Windows applications
override settings made when the printer driver is accessed from
the operating system, so you should access the printer driver from
your application to make sure that you get the result you want.
Note:
Online help provides details on printer driver settings.
