Setting Up Your Printer
This chapter describes how to unpack and set up your printer, and how to connect it
to your network. For more information on using and maintaining the printer, see the
EPSON Stylus C80 Reference Guide as described on page 3.
Unpacking the Printer
Remove any packing material from the printer as described on the unpacking sheet in
the printer box. Then make sure you have the following items:
ink
cartridges
power cord
printer
paper support
Printer
Basics
You’ll also need a Category 5 twisted pair network cable with
RJ45 connectors to connect the printer to a hub or switch. If
you’ll be connecting a computer directly to the printer (without a
hub or switch), you’ll need a “crossover” network cable.

Attaching the Paper Support
Insert the paper support into the slots at the back of the printer’s sheet feeder.
Put the printer near an available grounded outlet, but avoid areas:
■
With high temperature or humidity
■
In direct sunlight or dusty conditions
■
Near sources of heat or electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or
cordless telephone base units
Setting Up Your Printer
8
Also be sure to check safety requirements and follow all the safety
instructions in the Notices section of this manual.
Installing the Ink Cartridges
1. Make sure the printer is turned off (the P power button should be up), then plug
the printer’s power cord into the AC inlet on the back of the printer. Then plug
the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Don’t use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer, or one that
uses the same circuit as a large appliance. This may disrupt the power,
which can erase memory or even damage the power supply.
Always use the P power button to turn the printer on or off. Never use
the external switch on a power strip.
2. Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The P power light flashes and
the ink cartridge holders begin to move.
3. Lower the printer’s output tray and open the cover.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. If ink gets on your skin,
wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.
4. Shake each ink cartridge four or five times, then unwrap it.
Don’t remove the cartridge labels, or ink may leak.
Don’t shake cartridges after you unwrap them, or they may leak.
Setting Up Your Printer

5. Wait for the ink cartridge holders to move into loading position, then lower each
ink cartridge into its holder. The color of the cartridge label should match the
sticker on the holder.
Install all four ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of
printing, or the printer won’t work.
6. Gently push each cartridge down until it clicks into place.
7. Press the H ink button and close the printer cover.
Ink charging takes about 90 seconds. You see the P power light flash and hear the
printer charging your ink. Don’t turn off the printer during this process or you’ll
waste ink.
Setting Up Your Printer
10
Never turn off the printer when the P power light is flashing, unless the
printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes.
Loading Paper
1. Open the output tray extensions. Slide the left edge guide so it’s a little wider than
your paper.

Installing the Print Server Hardware
The print server hardware is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter that supports several
network protocols. Follow the instructions below to install it on your EPSON Stylus
C80N printer.
Do not place anything on top of the print server after it is installed in the
printer.
Leave adequate room around the print server for easy operation.
1. Make sure the printer and the print server are powered off.
2. Plug the print server into the printer’s parallel port. Squeeze the wire clips
together until they lock in place on either side of the connector.
3. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the print server, then
connect the other end to a hub or switch.
Setting Up Your Printer
12
Use Category 5 twisted pair cable to prevent malfunctions.
By default, when the print server is turned on it will try to obtain an IP
address automatically using DHCP. If it cannot get an IP address
through DHCP, it will use the private IP address of 192.168.192.168.
Make sure this address is not already used on your network before
connecting the print server to the network. For information on changing
the IP address, see the PDF-format Administrator’s Manual on the
Printer Software CD-ROM.
Do not connect or disconnect the network cable when the printer is on.
4. Plug the AC adapter into the
connector on the print server. Use only the
DCIN
AC adapter that is included with the print server.
Before you install or uninstall the print server, always turn off the printer
and unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet to prevent electric
shock.
5. Plug the power cord of the AC adapter into a properly grounded wall outlet.
6. While holding down the status sheet button on the print server, turn on the
printer. Continue to hold down the status sheet button for about 5 seconds. This
initializes the print server.
status sheet button
print server
It can take up to one minute to initialize the print server. When it is
done initializing, its STATUS light will be green or orange (but not red).
7. After the print server is initialized, press the status sheet button for about two
seconds to print a report (a “status sheet”) on the configuration of the print server.
The status sheet is two pages long. If a status sheet prints, the print server has been
installed correctly.
After turning off the printer, wait until its P power light goes out before
turning it back on, or before disconnecting the print server from the
printer. Otherwise, the print server might not work correctly.
The Status Sheet
Save the status sheet. It gives information you will need later to configure the print
server and workstations. It includes the IP address and MAC address of the print
server, as well as configuration information for several other network protocols
including NetBEUI, Novell NetWare, AppleTalk, IPP, and SNMP.

Turning Monitoring On and Off
After Status Monitor 3 is installed, it automatically performs background monitoring
whenever you print a document. If an error occurs, such as a paper out error, you’re
automatically notified of the problem. However, background monitoring increases
network traffic, so you may wish to turn it off at some or all workstations. See
“Disabling Background Monitoring” on page 35.
If background monitoring is turned off, you can still start Status Monitor 3 in one of

Important Safety Instructions
Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the
printer safely and effectively:
Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
■
Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heating vent or in
■
direct sunlight. Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.
Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the
■
same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. Place
the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.
Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. If you use an extension cord with
■
the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension
cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of
all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not
■
spill liquid on the printer.
Always turn the printer off using the Ppower button. Don’t switch off
the power strip or unplug the printer until the P power light is off.
■
Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s case or insert objects through the
slots. Except as specifically explained in this manual, do not attempt to service the printer
yourself.
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel if the power cord or
■
plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been dropped or the
case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. If ink gets on
■
your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush
them immediately with water.
Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its plastic package. If you
■
leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be
possible.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print
■
head.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton; otherwise it
■
may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six
months of first installing them.
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing. Also, do
■
not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may damage the printer.
Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right
■
position and the ink cartridges are in place.
