3.Plug the power

cord into the AC inlet on the back of the printer and plug the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Installing the Printer Software

After you connect the printer to your computer, you need to install the EPSON printer software on the CD-ROM shipped with your printer. The printer driver is the software that runs, or “drives,” your printer. With it, you can select printer settings such as print quality, resolution, and paper size.

The software includes EPSON Status Monitor 3 (Windows® XP, 2000, Me, 98, 95, or NT 4.0), which displays printer status information and notifies you of printer errors. See the Reference Guide for more information.

Note:

❏Installing the printer software for Windows NT, XP, or 2000 may require administrator privileges. If you have problems, ask your administrator for more information.

❏If the New Hardware Found screen or any other wizard appears when you turn on your computer, click Cancel.

❏If the Digital Signature Not Found screen appears, click Yes. If you click No, you must reinstall the printer driver.

The printer software CD-ROM also includes the EPSON Remote Configuration Manager, which lets you change the printer’s default settings. See “Installing the Remote Configuration Manager” on page 15.

For Windows XP, Me, or 2000
