*The software in this kit supports these two printers for Windows 98 only. To connect one of them to an iMac or G3 using your EPSON USB/Parallel Adapter, you have to install the software that came with your printer. See your printer’s setup instructions.
To install the EPSON USB/Parallel Adapter, turn to one of these sections:
“Getting Started on a Macintosh” on page 2
“Getting Started on a Windows 98 System” on page 11

If you have any problems installing the cable or software, contact your EPSON dealer or EPSON technical support as described in the Where to Get Help section of your printer documentation.
The instructions on the next few pages explain how to connect the USB/ Parallel Adapter cable to your iMac or G3 and how to install the printer software that came on the USB Printer Software CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT:
To connect an EPSON Stylus Pro 5000 or 9000 to your Macintosh using the adapter, install the software that came with your printer instead of the software included in this kit. See your printer’s setup instructions.
For all other printers, you must use the USB Printer Software CD-ROM included in this kit. Follow the instructions below.
If you have an iMac, you may need to update your system before installing the EPSON USB/Parallel Adapter.
If your iMac is running OS 8.1, you must install Apple’s iMac Update 1.0.
If your iMac is running OS 8.5 or 8.5.1, Apple recommends that you install iMac Update 1.1.

Download the update for your system at http://swupdates.info.apple.com. Contact Apple if you have problems installing the update.
To find out which operating system your iMac is running, select About This Computer in the Apple menu.
If you’ve been using your EPSON printer with your computer, the printer is probably set up already. If so, turn off your system and disconnect the printer from the computer. Then go to “Connecting the Cable” below to attach the USB/Parallel Adapter cable to your system.
If you’re setting up a new printer, see the documentation that came with your printer for instructions on unpacking it, installing ink cartridges, and loading paper. Then return to this booklet for instructions on connecting the cable and installing your printer software.
You can connect the USB/Parallel Adapter directly to a USB port on your Macintosh or to a USB hub connected to a port on the Macintosh. If you have any printing problems when the printer is connected via a USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to a USB port on the computer instead.

1Connect the adapter to an available USB port on the side of your iMac as shown, or to a USB port on the back of your G3. If you’re using a USB hub, plug it into an available USB port on your iMac or G3, then plug the adapter into a USB port on the hub. If you have more than one hub, connect the adapter to the first hub.
