Configuration Manager
User's Guide
The EPSON Remote Configuration Manager lets you change your
printer's default settings, update the printer with the new settings,
and save them in a configuration file which you can use any time.
This is especially convenient in a multi-printer network environment;
individual configuration files can be created for each printer's specific
requirements.
The program also lets you quickly view the current settings for the
printer(s).
Note:
If you are using the serial port, you need to switch the printer driver to
COM2 before you run the Remote Configuration Manager. Switch it back to
COM1 when you're done.
If you have not already installed the program, follow the instructions
in your DFX-9000 User's Guide to install it.
