Using the PC utility files
In addition to using the options in a supported driver, the utility files available on the printer's CD-ROM offer another method for changing the way the printer operates. In some cases, a selection can only be made with a utility file. To use the files, send or download them to the printer from the communications port your printer is connected to. You can use either the DOS method or the Windows method.
