Using Your Printer with DOS
To use your printer with DOS, you’ll need to follow the steps here for:
■ selecting a printer driver in each application
■ changing control panel settings, if necessary.
If you need to clean the print head, use the printer’s control panel as described on
page 50.
Selecting a Printer Driver
If driver support for the EPSON Stylus COLOR 900 is not available from your
software manufacturer, you can use one of the other EPSON ESC/P 2
™
printer
drivers. These drivers don’t provide all the EPSON Stylus COLOR 900 features such
as 720 or 1440 dpi printing. Choose the first printer available from the following two
lists:
When printing black only:
LQ-870/1170
LQ-570 (+)/1070(+)
SQ-870/1070
LQ-850
LQ-500
When printing black and color:
EPSON Stylus PRO
EPSON Stylus COLOR 500
EPSON Stylus COLOR II
LQ-860
LQ-2550
