Installing the Printer Software in Your PC
After connecting the printer to your computer, install the
Windows printer software. This software is included in the
“Printer Software for EPSON Stylus

COLOR 800” CD-ROM
shipped with your printer. For installation instructions for the
NT-based printer software, see the Windows NT 3.51/4.0 Printer
Software User’s Guide.
Your printer software includes:
❑ Printer driver
The printer driver gives you complete control over your
printer. With it, you can make settings such as Print
Quality, Media Type, and Paper Size.
❑ Utilities
The Status Monitor utility allows you to check the current
status of your printer. The Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning,
and Print Head Alignment utilities help you to keep your
printer in top operating condition.
❑ EPSON folder or program group
The EPSON folder (Windows 95) or program group
(Windows 3.1) contains the EPSON Stylus COLOR 800
Help, Spool Manager 4, and EPSON ReadMe files. Help
gives you instant on-screen access to detailed information
and instructions on how to use your printer and printer
software, Spool Manager 4 provides you with extra control
over the printing process, and ReadMe contains the most
up-to-date information available regarding your printer
and printer software.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, before
you begin installation, make a backup copy of the EPSON
printer software disk. If you wish to make a floppy disk
version of the printer software on your CD-ROM, you can use
the Driver disk creation utility included on the CD. See page
2-16 for Windows 95, or page 2-19 for Windows 3.1.
