Setting Up the Printer
If you’ve been using your EPSON printer with your computer, the printer is
probably set up already. If so, turn it off and disconnect it from the computer.
Then go to the section explaining how to connect the cable to your system.
If you’re setting up a new printer , see the documentation that came with your
printer for instructions on unpacking, installing ink cartridges, and loading
paper. Then return to this booklet for instructions on connecting the cable
and installing the USB printer software.
Getting Started on an iMac
The instructions on the next few pages explain how to connect the USB/
Parallel Adapter cable to your iMac and how to install the printer software
that came on the USB Printer Software CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT:
You can’t use the adapter with the printer driver software that came with your
printer. You must use the USB/Parallel Adapter printer driver software.
To use the adapter with the iMac, you must download and install the
iMac Update 1.0 from Apple at http://swupdates.info.apple.com before
you install the USB printer software. Contact Apple Computer if you
have problems installing this update.

Note:
The USB/Parallel Adapter printer software is slightly different from the
printer driver software documented in your User’s Guide. First, there is
no Status Monitor Utility for Windows. Second, the Monitor2 utility for
Macintosh has been upgraded to Monitor3. (Some printers, such as the
EPSON Stylus Photo 700 and EPSON Stylus COLOR 850, already use
Monitor3.) For information on using Monitor3, see Appendix A in this

open the port door. Hold the adapter’s USB connector so the icon
faces up and connect it to the available USB port.
