Epson ActionLaser 1100 User Setup Information - Page 17

9 Setting up your software The software included with your printer comes on two diskettes. One diskette contains the EPSON Control Panel for Windows, and the other contains the EPSON Control Panel for DOS. You only need to use one of the diskettes, depending on whether you are running Windows or not. This section describes how to install the EPSON Control Panel for Windows. If you are not running Windows, see Appendix B in the Reference Guide for information on installing and using the EPSON Control Panel for DOS. The EPSON Control Panel for Windows is an on-screen utility that keeps you informed of the printer status and notifies you when a print error occurs. For more information about this utility, see your Reference Guide. When you install the EPSON Control Panel for Windows, you also install the ActionLaserTM 1100 printer driver. The driver works with your software to control the operation of the printer by translating a document's margins, fonts, and other selections into control codes that the printer understands. Note: Although you can use other drivers, such as the HP® Laserjet® III driver, you should normally use the ActionLaser 1100 driver since it is specifically designed to work with this printer. When you install the EPSON Control Panel for Windows, the ActionLaser 1100 is automatically selected as the default printer in the Windows Control Panel. 14 Setup
