Installing the Printer Software
After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the
software included on the "Printer Software for EPSON Stylus COLOR 860"
CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
Printer driver and Utilities
The printer driver is the software that runs, or "drives," your printer.
With it, you can make settings such as print quality, speed, media type,
and paper size. The Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head
Alignment utilities help you keep your printer in top operating
condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3 (for Windows) or EPSON
StatusMonitor (for Macintosh) notifies you of printer errors and
displays printer status information such as the amount of ink
remaining. The Status Monitor also guides you when replacing ink
cartridges.
Online Guides
The online Reference Guide and Color Guide help you learn more about
your printer and color printing.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, make a backup copy
of the EPSON printer software disk before you begin installation. 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.
Installing in Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0 for parallel interfaces
