Plugging in the Printer

Follow the steps below to plug in your printer.

1. Make sure that the printer is turned off. It is off when the

Ppower

button protrudes slightly from the surface of the control panel.

2. Check the label on the back of the printer to make sure the voltage

required by the printer matches that of the electrical outlet you will

be plugging it into. Also, make sure that you have the correct power

cable for your power source.

cCaution:

It is not possible to change the printer’s voltage. If the rated voltage

and your outlet voltage do not match, contact your dealer for

assistance. Do not plug in the power cord.

3. If the power cord is not attached to the printer, connect it to the AC

inlet at the back of the printer.

4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Installing Ink Cartridges

This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC chip

accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even

if a cartridge is removed and then inserted again, all of its ink can be

used. However, some ink from both color and black ink cartridges is

consumed each time a cartridge is inserted because the printer

automatically checks reliability.

Be sure to use the ink cartridges packed with your printer the first time

that you install ink cartridges.

Installing the Ink Cartridges

Before installing the ink cartridges, note the following:

wWarning:

The ink cartridges are self-contained units. Under ordinary use, ink will

not leak from a cartridge. If ink does get on your hands, however, wash

them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush

them immediately with water.

Note:

Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you install them, or the

ink may dry up.

Follow the steps below to install the ink cartridges.

1. Open the output tray and the printer cover, then

turn on the printer by pressing the

P power

button.

2. Lift up the ink cartridge clamps, as shown here.

cCaution:

Do not move the print head by hand. Doing

so may damage the printer.

3. Remove only the yellow tape

from the ink cartridges.

cCaution:

❏You must remove the

yellow tape seals from

the cartridges before installing them, or the cartridges will

become unusable and you will be unable to print.

❏If you have installed an ink cartridge without removing the

yellow tape seal, you must remove that cartridge and install a

new one. Prepare the new cartridge by removing the yellow tape

seal before installing it in the printer.

❏Do not remove the blue portion of the tape seal from the

cartridges, or the cartridges may become unusable.

❏Do not remove the tape seals from the bottom of the cartridges,

or ink will leak out.

❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side

of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent

normal operation and printing.

❏Do not remove the green IC chip from the

side of the cartridge. If you install an ink

cartridge without a chip, the printer may

be damaged.

Do not touch this part.

4. Align the tabs on each ink cartridge so that

they rest on top of the tabs protruding from

the base of the ink cartridge clamps. Do not

apply excessive force to the cartridges.

Make sure that the ink cartridge tabs are not

under the tabs protruding from the base of

the opened ink cartridge clamps.

Note:

Install both ink cartridges. The printer will not work with only one

cartridge.

5. Lower the ink cartridge clamps until they lock into place.

6. Press the

eink cartridge replacement button.

The printer moves the print head and begins

charging the ink delivery system. This process

takes about two and a half minutes.

cCaution:

Always press the

eink cartridge

replacement button to move the print head. Do not move the print

head by hand. Doing so may damage the printer.

While the ink is charging, the Processing light flashes and the Select

Photo display rotates. During this process, printer will emit a variety

of mechanical sounds. These sounds are normal. When the ink

delivery system is charged, the print head will return to the home

(far right) position and the Processing light will come on.

cCaution:

Never turn off the printer while the processing light is flashing and

the Select Photo display is rotating.

7. Close the printer cover.

Checking the printer

Before printing your first page, you need to make sure that the printer

is working correctly by loading paper, then printing a nozzle check page

and, if necessary, cleaning the print head. Refer to the appropriate

section below.

Loading paper

1. Lower the output tray and slide out the extension. Slide the left edge

guide so that the distance between the edge guides is slightly wider

than your paper.

2. Fan a stack of paper, then tap it on a flat surface to even the edges.

3. Load the stack of paper into the sheet feeder

with the printable side up and the right edge

of the paper flush against the right edge

guide. Slide the left edge guide against the

left edge of the paper.

Note:

❏Always load paper into the sheet feeder short

edge first.

❏Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark inside the

edge guide.

Below are sample printouts.

If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any

segment of the printed lines is missing), then you should clean the print

head as explained below. If the printout is satisfactory, you are ready to

print directly from the PC card.

Cleaning the print head

Follow the steps below to clean the print head.

1. Make sure that the Processing light is on and that the

berror light

is off.

2. Hold down the

bmaintenance

button for three seconds.

The printer will start cleaning

the print head and the

Processing light will start flash.

Print head cleaning takes about

thirty seconds to complete.

cCaution:

Never turn off the printer while the Processing light is flashing.

Doing so may damage the printer.

3. When the Processing light stops flashing, print a nozzle check

pattern to confirm that the head is clean and to reset the cleaning

cycle.

Connecting the Printer

Your printer connects to your computer via the USB interface.

Depending upon your geographic location, you may need to obtain the

appropriate cable. See “Options and Consumable Products” in the Daily

Use guide for details.

Note:

In order to connect your PC via the USB interface, your computer must be a

Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 pre-installed model that comes

with a USB port, or Windows Me upgraded from a Windows 98 pre-installed

model.

To connect the printer to a USB port, you will need a standard, shielded

USB cable. Follow these steps:

Note:

❏For best results, you should connect the printer directly to the computer’s

USB port. If you must use multiple USB hubs, we recommend that you

connect the printer to the first-tier hub.

❏If your computer has more than one USB port, you may plug the cable in

wherever is convenient.

1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.

2. Plug the appropriate end of the cable into

the USB port on the back of the printer. (The

end that fits the printer has a different shape

from the end that fits the computer.)

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the

computer’s USB port.

Installing the Printer Software

After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the

software included on the “Printer Software for EPSON Stylus Photo

895” CD-ROM shipped with your printer.

The printer software CD-ROM contains:

❏Printer software (printer driver and utilities)

The printer driver runs, or “drives,” your printer; use it to make

settings such as print quality, speed, media type, and paper size.

❏EPSON PhotoQuicker

This utility lets you print digital photos with ease, using a wide

variety of layouts.

❏EPSON PhotoStarter

This utility automatically launches EPSON PhotoQuicker and loads

photo data when a memory card is inserted into the printer’s PC

card slot. You can also setup it to automatically launch an

application without EPSON PhotoQuicker and save your photo file

to your computer whenever you insert a memory card.

❏EPSON CardMonitor

This utility works with EPSON PhotoStarter. It monitors the PC card

slots in your printer and computer.

❏Online guides

The online Reference Guide helps you learn more about your printer.

Refer to the appropriate section.

Installing in Windows

Follow the instructions in this section to install the printer software and

EPSON PhotoQuicker.

Note:

For Windows 2000 users, if the Digital Signature Not Found screen appears

during the installation process, click Yes. If you click No, you will have to

return to step1 and install the printer software again.

Installing the printer software

Follow these steps to install the printer software.

1. Turn on your computer and start Windows. If the New Hardware

Found dialog box or any other Wizard appears, click Cancel.

2. Insert the printer software CD in the CD-ROM drive. If the Installer
