AL1100-2 8/15/94 Laser Printers EPSON ActionLaser 1100 Accessing printer driver settings in DOS Selecting the Printer Driver When you install the software that comes with the printer, you also install the ActionLaser 1100 printer driver. A printer driver works with your software to control the operation of the printer by translating a document’s margins, fonts, and other settings into control codes that the printer understands. To get the full functionality from your printer, use your software to select the ActionLaser 1100 driver. Although you can use other drivers, such as the HP LaserJet III driver, you should normally use the ActionLaser 1100 since it is specifically designed to work with this printer. If you are not running Windows, you can control printer settings through the EPSON Control Panel for DOS. To bring up the EPSON Control Panel for DOS: 1. At a C: prompt, change to the PANEL directory by typing CD \ PANEL. Then press Enter. 2. Type PANEL and press Enter. This brings up the following screen: Changing the Printer Settings Printer settings are controlled through software. If you’re using Windows, you access settings through your software program. If you’re using DOS, you access printer settings through the EPSON Control Panel for DOS. Accessing printer driver settings in Windows To access printer settings from a Windows-based software program, choose Print or Page Setup from the File menu of your software program and then, depending on your program, choose the Setup, Options, or Printer button of the dialog box that opens. This brings up the Setup dialog box. The EPSON Control Panel for DOS consists of five screens: Page Setup, Font, Quality, Memory, and Options. One screen is displayed at a time, and other screens are represented by buttons to the left of the current screen. The five screens are listed below, along with the items available on each.

Error messages tell you how to correct any problems that occur. To load a stack of paper in the printer’s paper tray: 1. Remove any paper remaining in the paper tray. Do not add paper to a partial stack. 2. Pull the paper release lever toward the front of the printer. Front Panel Lights The two lights on the front panel allow you to monitor the status of the printer. The green Ready light is on when the printer is on and is ready to receive print data. As data is received from the computer, the Ready light flashes. The orange Error light indicates an error condition. If the Error light is on continuously, it indicates that no paper is loaded or that there is a paper feed jam. A flashing Error light indicates one of the following: an internal paper jam has occurred, the front cover is open, or the toner cartridge is not installed. Other status conditions are indicated by the combination of the Ready and Error lights. The following table describes all status conditions that can be indicated by the printer’s Ready and Error lights: Ready Off Slow flashing Flashing On Off Off Flashing Flashing On 1 Error 1Off I Off Printer status 1Printer is off. 1Printer is in power save mode 1Off 1Print data is being received at the printer or has already been received.

Turn off the printer if it is on and disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove paper from the paper tray and remove all printed pages from the exit tray. 3. Close the paper and exit trays.
