Connecting the Printer
Your printer must be connected to your PC or Macintosh via the USB
interface. Depending upon your geographic location, you may need to
acquire 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 98 pre-installed model which is equipped with a USB port.
To connect the printer to the USB port, you need a standard shielded
USB cable. Follow these steps.
1. Make sure both the printer and 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
875DC” CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
❏ 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. The
Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head Alignment utilities
help you keep your printer in top operating condition. EPSON
Status Monitor 3 (for Windows) or EPSON StatusMonitor (for
Macintosh) notifies you of printer errors and displays printer status
information such as the amount of ink remaining. The Status
Monitor also guides you through the ink replacement process.
❏ EPSON PhotoQuicker and EPSON PhotoStarter
❏ Online guides
The online Reference Guide and Color Guide help you learn more about
your printer and color printing.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, make a backup
copy of the EPSON printer software disk before you begin installation.

CD-ROM, you can use the driver disk creation utility included on the
CD.
