◗Printer driver for Windows®and Macintosh®

◗EPSON Net!2 utility (for Windows®98, Windows®95,

Windows NT®4.0, and Macintosh) that allows you to

configure your printer for protocols including Novell®

NetWare,®TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.®

◗EPSON Status Monitor 2 for Windows that allows you to

monitor your printer over the network and use TCP/IP for

printing in Windows 98/Windows 95 peer-to-peer

networks.

◗EPSON Driver Disk Creation Utility that lets you create

diskettes for systems that don’t have CD-ROM drives.
