USB Setup Guide (iMac)

This guide includes USB setup instructions for your iMac computer, as well as software

installation instructions for both iMac and Windows 98.

If you have an iMac computer, begin with “Connecting the Printer to an iMac Computer”.

If you have a Windows 98 system, begin with the instructions in the Start Here card for

connecting the printer to your USB port. Then continue with “Installing the USB Printer

Software (Windows 98)” on page 4 of this booklet.

Connecting the Printer to an iMac Computer

You can connect your printer directly to a port on the iMac or to a USB hub connected to a

port on the iMac. If you have any printing problems when the printer is connected via a USB

hub, try connecting the printer directly to the iMac instead.

1. Turn off the printer and computer.

2. To connect the USB cable to a USB port on the side of the iMac, first open the port door.

Hold the cable so the icon faces up and connect it to an available USB port.

If you’re using a USB hub, plug it into the USB port on your iMac, then connect one end

of the USB cable into an available port on the hub. If you have more than one hub,

connect the cable to the first hub.

To connect the cable to one of the USB ports on the iMac keyboard, hold the cable’s USB

connector so th

icon faces away from you and connect it to the USB port.

If you’re using a USB hub, plug it into a USB port on the iMac keyboard, then connect

the cable to an available port on the hub. If you have more than one hub, connect the

cable to the first hub.

3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to your printer’s USB connector.

4. Continue with the next section to install the USB Printer Device software and EPSON
