Setting Up Your Application Software
Now that you have set up and tested the printer, you should make
sure that it works with your application programs.
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer’s features. Many of these programs provide an installation or
setup menu that presents a list of printers to choose from.
If your application program has a printer selection menu, use the
instructions below.
Choosing From a Menu
Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many
commands, you can use an application program even if it does not
list the LQ-850, LQ-950, or LQ-1050 on its printer selection menu. If
the printer is not listed, choose one of the following printers. They
are listed in order of preference.
LQ-850 (LQ-950, LQ-1050)
LQ-800 (LQ-1000)
LQ-510/LQ-500
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on the
following list: LQ, EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard
printer, Draft printer.
To use all of the features of the printer, however, it is best to use a
program with the LQ-850, LQ-950, or LQ-1050 on its menu. If your
program does not list the printer, contact the software manufacturer
to see if an update is available that supports your model.
