Installing the Printer Software
After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the
software included on the “Printer Software for EPSON Stylus Photo 1290”
CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Refer to the
Photo Print Software Setup
included in the online
Reference Guide
to install the Photo Print Software.
The printer software CD-ROM contains:
❏
Printer software (printer driver and utilities)
The printer driver runs, or “drives,” your printer; use it to make settings
such as print quality, speed, media type, and paper size. The Nozzle
Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head Alignment utilities help you
keep your printer in top operating condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3
(for Windows) or EPSON StatusMonitor (for Macintosh) notifies you of
printer errors and displays printer status information such as the
amount of ink remaining. The Status Monitor also guides you through
the ink cartridge replacement process.
