Everything You Need for Photo-Quality

Prints

Welcome!

Your EPSON Stylus®Photo 700 is the ideal printer for optimum photo-quality

printing—print any image from your favorite photos to letters and everyday

documents.

Everything You Need for Photo-Quality

Prints

The EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM includes all the software you need for

photo-quality output: your printer software and EPSON Digital PhotoLab™

What Is Your Printer Software?

To print, you need some printer software (also known as a printer driver) to tell the

printer how to print. This software is what you use to select settings that control the

look of your documents. A step-by-step guide to printing starts on page 19 for

Windows®and on page 23 for Macintosh®

What Is EPSON Digital PhotoLab?

To help you get the most out of your printer,EPSON Digital

PhotoLab includes award-winning photo-editing, photo-

organizing, and photo-layout software. This creative software

collection is described in more detail on page 15.

Printer Setup

Setting up your printer is easy. Just follow the simple steps on the following pages.

Before you set up your printer, make sure your system meets the requirements

listed in the Introduction of your User’s Guide.

1 Unpack the Printer

Remove any packing material from the printer. See the Notice Sheet in the box for

details. Save all the packaging so you can use

it if you need to transport the printer later.

You need the following items to

set up your printer:

■Your printer and paper support

■Ink cartridges (black and color)

■CD-ROM with your printer

software and EPSON Digital

PhotoLab

■Printer cable (not included)

cartridge

Note:

To connect to a PC, you’ll need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel printer

cable (6 to 10 feet long). To connect to a Macintosh, you’ll need an

Apple®System Peripheral-8 cable (Belkin brand recommended).

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.

Be sure to follow all the Safety Instructions in your User’s Guide.

3 Install the Ink Cartridges

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

2. Make sure the power is off

(the power light is off).

Caution:

Don’t use an outlet controlled

by a wall switch or timer, or

one that uses the same

circuit as a large appliance.

This may disrupt the

power, which can erase

memory or even

damage the power

supply.

3. Lower the output tray and open

the printer cover.

2 Attach the Paper Support

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

4. Press the power button to turn on the printer. The power light flashes, the

black and color ink out lights come on, and the ink cartridge holders move

left to the installation position.

Caution:

Always use the power button to turn the printer on or off. Never use

an external switch—such as a power strip—to turn off the printer.

5. Lift the two ink cartridge clamps.

6. Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then remove only the

yellow part of the tape seal on the top of each cartridge. Do not remove the

white part.

Caution:

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the cartridge or

you will permanently damage it. It’s OK if the tape does not tear off

exactly along the dotted line. Do not try to remove the clear seal from

the bottom.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If

ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

7. Insert the ink cartridges into their holders. Be sure the labels are face up and

the arrows point toward the back of the printer. The black ink cartridge goes on

the left and the color ink cartridge goes on the right.

8. Push down the clamps until they lock in place.

9. Press the cleaning button and close the printer cover.

The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system.

Charging can take two to four minutes. During this time, the power light

flashes, and the printer makes various sounds. Don’t turn off the printer or

interrupt the charging process or you’ll use more ink than necessary. Charging

is complete when the power light stops flashing and stays on.

Caution:

Never turn off the printer when the power light is flashing. But if the

light is still flashing after five minutes and the printer isn’t moving or

making noise, you may turn off the printer.

4 Connect the Printer to Your Computer

Connecting to a PC

1. Turn off the printer and your computer.

2. Connect the cable to the printer’s

parallel interface;then squeeze the

wire clips together to lock them in

place. (If your cable has a ground

wire, connect it now.)

3. Connect the other end of the cable to

your computer’s parallel port and

secure it as necessary.

6 Install the Software

Your EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM includes printer software (also called a

printer driver) and EPSON Digital PhotoLab for both Windows and Macintosh. You

must install the printer software for the printer to work correctly.

Note:

If you don’t have a CD-ROM drive, you can use another computer

with a CD-ROM drive to make printer driver diskettes. See page 29 for

instructions. You can also order the printer driver software on diskettes

(see the inside back cover for instructions) or download it from

http://www.epson.com.

You need a CD-ROM drive to install and use EPSON Digital PhotoLab; it

is not available on diskettes.

Don’t load paper

above this mark.

Comoro+ GS Booklet 3/17/98, 4:35 PM11

Installing the Software for Windows 95 or Later

1. Make sure your printer is connected to the computer and that both are

turned off.

2. Turn on your computer, but leave your printer turned off. Make sure

Windows 95 is running (you should see the Windows Desktop icons).

3. Insert the EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM or diskette 1 if you’re using

diskettes.

If Windows 95 launches the installation program automatically, you see the

EPSON Setup CD window. Go to step 4.

If it doesn’t launch automatically, click Start, select Run, and type D:\Setup700

(substitute the correct drive letter if it is not D). Then click OK. You see the

EPSON Setup CD window. Go to step 4.

If you are installing from diskettes, type A:\SETUP (substitute the correct drive

letter if it is not A). Then click OK. Go to step 5.

4. At the EPSON Setup CD window, make sure Initial Installation is selected and

click Next.

Note:

If you are installing the software for the first time, Initial Installation is

your only option. If you are reinstalling the software, you can select

Install EPSON Digital PhotoLab or Reinstall EPSON Printer Software.

If you click Exit Setup during the installation, you skip the EPSON Digital

PhotoLab installation and proceed directly to the printer software

installation.

5. Follow the instructions on screen to install the software. EPSON Digital

PhotoLab is installed first. Click Finish when that installation is complete. At the

next screen, click OK to install your printer software and Status Monitor. (There

may be a brief pause before the installation begins; if you are installing the

software from diskettes,only the printer software and Status Monitor are

installed.)

Be sure to click Next to install the

Status Monitor. When the installation is

complete, you must reboot your

computer for the Status Monitor to take

effect.

Your printer software and EPSON

Digital PhotoLab icons appear in the

EPSON folder and an icon for your

printer appears in the Printers folder.

The EPSON Stylus Photo 700 printer is

set as your default Windows printer.

An icon for EPSON Digital PhotoLab also appears on your desktop. To

launch this program, double-click the icon. For details about EPSON Digital

PhotoLab, see page 15.

6. Turn your printer on.

Note:

If your computer is on a network and the printer is connected to a

remote server, you now need to set up the computer as a client. See

Appendix A of your User’s Guide for instructions.

Caution:

If you’re setting up your computer for the first time, you may see a

message asking if you want to install a printer. Be sure to select Cancel

and complete your Windows 95 setup.

If at any time you see the New Hardware Found screen and Windows 95

asks you to insert a driver diskette, always select Cancel. You can’t

install your software that way.
