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+
