Epson 1170 - Manual (Page 28)

Configuring Your Software for the Printer
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
use so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s
features. Many of these programs provide an installation or setup
section that presents a list of printers.
Choosing from a menu
Although you can use an application program even if it does not
list your printer on its printer selection menu, to take full
advantage of your printer’s features (including ESC/P 2), choose
the LQ-870/1170 or LQ-570/1070 when you set up your program.
If your printer is not listed, call the software manufacturer or call
Epson at (800) 922-8911 to see if an update is available.
Until you receive an update choose from the following list (the
printers are listed in the order of preference):
LQ-850/l050
LQ-510/1010
LQ-500
LQ-2550
LQ-2500
LQ-800/1000
LQ-1500
LQ
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available from
the following list: FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard printer,
Draft printer. Because the printers in this list are 9-pin printers,
your graphics printing will not be correct.
