Quick Setup

Unpack the Printer

Remove any packing material from the printer, as described on

the Notice Sheet in the box. Save all the packaging so you can

use it if you need to transport the printer later. You’ll find these

items inside:

Place the printer flat on a stable desk near a grounded outlet.

Leave plenty of room in back for the cables and for a stack of

continuous paper, if you use it. Leave enough room in front for

the paper tray you’ll install in section 4.

Do NOT put the printer:

◗In an area with high temperature or humidity

◗In direct sunlight or dusty conditions

◗Near sources of heat or electromagnetic interference, such

as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units

Also, be sure to follow the Safety Instructions in the

Introduction of your User’s Guide.

Guides

The edge guides are used to guide paper into the manual feed

slot or to hold a roll of banner paper. (See Chapter 3 in your

User’s Guide.)

Place the top of the left edge guide over the manual feed guide

at the back of the printer, then snap the bottom edge of the

guide into place. Repeat for the right edge guide.

Install the Banner Paper Cover

Slide the clips on the bottom of the banner paper cover over the

tabs on the bottom of the manual feed guide. To close the

cover, push it up until the holes fit over the tabs on the back of

the printer.

Attach the Paper Tray

1. Place the paper tray cover on the paper tray so that it fits

into the slots on the sides of the paper tray.

2. Insert the paper tray into the lower front opening of the

printer and push it firmly into position.

Plug In the Printer

1. Make sure the power is off. Check the POperate button;

it’s off when its surface is even with the button guards on

each side.

2. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. To

protect the printer from power surges, you may want to use

a surge protector.

Caution:

Do not plug the printer

into an outlet controlled

by a wall switch or timer,

or on the same circuit as

a large appliance. This

may disrupt the power,

hich can erase memory

and damage the power

supply.

Install the Ink Cartridges

1. Press the POperate button to turn on the printer. The

Operate light and all four Ink Out lights come on and the

Pause light begins flashing.

2. Open the ink cartridge compartment by pushing the top of

the ink compartment door. You see four slots for the ink

cartridges.

3. Open the ink cartridge packages.

4. Insert the cartridges, foil plug first, arrow on top, into the

slots. Insert cartridges in the following order: yellow,

magenta, cyan, and black. Each cartridge is “keyed” so it

can be inserted only into the correct slot. Push each

cartridge all the way into its slot until it meets resistance

and the corresponding ink cartridge light turns off.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands,

wash them thoroughly with

soap and water. If ink gets

into your eyes, flush them

immediately with water.

Quicksetup.fm Page 4 Friday, May 2, 2003 3:22 PM

5. Close the ink compartment door.

The printer begins charging the advanced ink delivery

system. Charging takes up to 10 minutes, with the Pause

light flashing until it’s finished; then the Pause light stays

on. Do not turn off the printer or interrupt this important

process or you’ll use up more ink than necessary.

When the Pause light stops flashing, the ink charging

process is finished.

6. Press the Pause button to turn off the Pause light.

Load the Paper

To test the printer operation, load several sheets of letter-size

plain paper in the built-in sheet feeder as described in this

section. For instructions on loading other types of paper or

using the other paper feeders, see your User’s Guide.

1. Make sure the paper release lever is set back to the single

sheet position.

Caution:

Never turn off the printer

when the Pause light is

flashing. However, if the

Pause light is still flashing

after 15 minutes and the

printer has stopped

moving or making noise,

you may turn off the

printer.

2. Open the printer hood and remove the paper tray cover.

3. Slide the right edge guide all the way left until it clicks into

place. Then slide the left edge guide to match the

approximate width of your paper.

guides.

against the right edge guide.

Test the Printer

1. Turn off the printer and wait until the Operate light turns

off.

2. While holding down the Load/Eject button, turn on the

printer. Hold down the Load/Eject button for three

seconds, then release it.

3. The first page prints on the first and last lines to measure

the page length. The next sheet prints character samples at

360 dpi (dots per inch). To stop the test, press the Pause

button after the second page prints to stop the test.

4. Press the Load/Eject button to eject any loaded pages.

Then turn off the printer.

If you have any problems with the test, see Chapter 6 in your

User’s Guide for more information.

Connect the Printer to Your

Computer

Depending on your system, you can connect the printer to your

computer using any of the following:

◗Parallel interface—for Windows

◗Parallel interface with the included USB-to-parallel cable—

for Windows 98 and above or Macintosh

◗Optional IEEE 1394 FireWire interface card (C823722)—

for Windows 2000, XP, and Macintosh

◗Optional 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface card

(C12C823912)—network connectivity for all systems

In some cases, it may be to your advantage to use an optional

interface card instead of the built-in port.

Quicksetup.fm Page 8 Friday, May 2, 2003 3:22 PM

EPSON’s optional Ethernet card allows other users on your

network to access the printer. To provide adequate bandwidth,

you need a switched 100 Mbit hub on your network.

To connect your printer to a network interface you must first

install an optional interface card as described on page 10.

Connecting to the Parallel Port

To use the printer’s built-in parallel interface, you need one of

the following:

◗The USB-to-parallel cable included with the printer

◗A shielded, bidirectional, parallel cable (Windows only)

1. Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off.

2. Connect the cable to the printer’s parallel interface; then

squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on

both sides.

Note:

If you are using the USB-

to-parallel cable on a

Windows 98 or

Windows Me system,

you must install the

printer software before

you connect the cable to

your computer. See

page 12 for instructions.

Quicksetup.fm Page 9 Friday, May 2, 2003 3:22 PM

3. Do one of the following:

◗If you’re using the included USB-to-parallel cable,

connect the other end of the cable to one of the USB

ports on your computer (Windows 98 and above, or

Macintosh).

◗If you’re using a parallel cable (Windows only),

connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s

parallel port and secure it as necessary.

After you connect the printer, you’re ready to install the

software, as described on page 12.

Installing and Connecting to an Optional

Interface Card

To connect the printer to an optional FireWire or Ethernet

card, you first need to install the card in your printer. You also

need the appropriate cable.

1. Turn off your computer and your printer.

2. IMPORTANT: Unplug the printer from its electrical

outlet. Not doing so will cause damage to the printer and

the card.

3. Disconnect any interface cables from the printer.

4. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws

securing the interface cover. Then lift off the cover.

Caution:

Before installing the card,

you must unplug the

printer from the power

outlet to avoid damaging

the printer and the card.
