Choosing from a menu
Because the family of Epson printers shares many commands, you can
use an application program even if it does not list the LQ-2550 on its
printer selection menu. If the LQ-2550 is not listed, select the first printer
available on the following list:
LQ-2500
LQ-1050 (LQ-850)
LQ-1000 (LQ-800)
LQ-500
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on the
following list:
LQ
EX
FX
LX
RX
MX
Epson printer
Standard printer
Draft printer
If you are printing in color, it is recommended that you choose LQ-2550
or LQ-2500.
To use all the features of the LQ-2550, however, it is best to use a
program with the LQ-2550 on its menu. If your program does not list
this printer, contact the software manufacturer to see if an update is
available. For further information on using software, see Chapter 4.
