Epson 1500 - Manual (Page 22)

Choosing the correct printer driver from the software menu
helps to ensure that the application sends the correct codes to
the printer. The ActionLaser 1000 emulates an HP LaserJet IIIP ®
and the ActionLaser 1500 emulates an HP LaserJet III,@ so you
can access the most printer features from your software by
choosing that printer driver or the selection closest to it.
Because the printer driver automatically places control codes in
the data for your document when it sends the file to the printer,
software settings usually override the settings you made at the
control panel. So, the best way to enter most of your printer
selections is through the software. Some software packages also
let you embed your own printer control codes into the
document.
Note:
Your software’s manual and technical support representative are
your best sources for information on installing your software.
Printer drivers are included with your software package. Many
manufacturers provide technical support phone assistance for helping
you install
your
printer drivers.
This section provides quick instructions for using your printer
with some software you may already have installed in your
computer. The descriptions cover a number of the leading
software packages. If you need further details or if you are
using a package not described here, see the manual supplied
with your software.
If you have documents or software that require a printer
emulation other than HP LaserJet,@ see “Using Printer
Emulations” later in this chapter.
