Attaching the Paper Support

Insert the paper support into the slots at the rear of the printer.

Plugging in the Printer

1.Make sure that the printer is turned off. It is off when the P power 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 on the back of the printer.

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

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. If you wish to make a floppy disk version of the printer software on your CD-ROM, you can use the driver disk creation utility included on the CD.
