EPSON Remote  
Configuration Manager  
The EPSON Remote Configuration Manager lets you change the  
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  
application requirements. The program works on these printers:  
FX-880+  
FX-880+ in Okidata® mode  
FX-1180+  
FX-890  
FX-890 in Okidata mode  
FX-2190  
FX-2190 in Okidata mode  
LQ-590  
LQ-2090  
Note:  
If you are using Windows 2000 and the printer is connected to the parallel  
port, Remote Configuration Manager may not work. In this case, do one of  
the following:  
Before running the program, set the printer driver to the LPT2 port.  
Then use Remote Configuration Manager to check or change the default  
settings as described in this book. After you finish using the program,  
remember to return the setting to LPT1.  
Connect the printer to the USB port instead.

Saving the Configuration File  
If you want to save the changes you have made to the printer settings  
in a configuration file, do one of the following:  
To save a new configuration file or overwrite the current one  
with the new settings, click Save Configuration. If you are  
making changes to an existing file, the new settings overwrite  
the original ones.  
If this is a new file, you see this message:  
Type a file name with  
the extension .cfg  
Type a description of  
the file, if desired  
Enter a new name for the configuration file and a description  
of it, if desired. Then click Save. Make sure the extension  
remains .cfg.  
To save the file with a new name so you don’t overwrite the  
open one, select Save As from the File menu. Enter a new name  
for the configuration file and click Save. Make sure the  
extension remains .cfg.  
Configuration files are saved in this directory:

If you want to remove a configuration file, delete it from the \Setting  
directory.
