Quick Setup

Here’s how to set up your new EPSON®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 enough room

in front for opening the output tray.

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.

Insert the paper support in the top slot on the back of the
