The package contents may vary in certain locations.
The ink cartridges packed with your printer are for initial setup. In order to
maintain high quality printouts, your printer will use large quantities of ink
during the setup process. As a result, the ink cartridges used for setup will empty
faster than normal.
Follow the instructions in sections through in this manual to install
the printer software. Then, proceed to section to install the ink
cartridges. To ensure that your printer is operating correctly, proceed to
section after an on-screen message informs you that setup is complete.
Unpacking the printer
Remove all tape and protective materials attached to the printer.
*The number of tape strips used may vary from what is shown.
Attaching the Paper Support and the Output Tray
Insert the paper support into the slots at the rear of the printer, then insert
the output tray into the slots at the front of the printer where the paper is
ejected. Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. Leave enough space in
front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
Connecting the Printer
Your printer connects to your computer via a standard, shielded USB cable.
Make sure that the USB cable supports bidirectional communication.
Otherwise, the printer will not work. Depending upon your geographic
location, you may need to obtain the appropriate cable. See “Options and
Consumable Products” in the Daily Use guide for details.
Follow these steps to connect the printer to your PC or Macintosh.
Note:
❏
In order to connect your PC via the USB interface, your computer must be
equipped with a USB port and must be a Windows 98 pre-installed model, a
Windows 2000 pre-installed model, or a Windows 98 pre-installed model that
has been upgraded to Windows 2000.
❏
If you use a USB hub, we recommend that you connect the printer to the first
tier of the hub, or connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
1. Make sure that the computer is turned off, and the printer’s power cord
is unplugged.
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 COLOR 580”
CD-ROM shipped with your printer. Refer to the appropriate section below.
Note:
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-ROM.
Installing in Windows
Follow the instructions in this section to install the printer software.
Note:
❏
When using Windows 2000, you must follow the steps below to install the
printer software; otherwise, Microsoft’s Universal driver may be installed
instead. To check if the Universal driver has been installed, open the Printers
folder and right-click the icon for your printer. Select Printing Preferences
on the shortcut menu that appears, then right-click anywhere in the driver. If
About is displayed on the shortcut menu that appears, click it. A message box
with the words "Unidrv Printer Driver" appears. You must reinstall the
printer software as described below. If About is not displayed, the printer
software has been installed correctly.
❏
If the Digital Signature Not Found dialog box appears during the installation
process, click Yes. If you click No, you must reinstall the printer software as
described below.
1. Make sure that your printer is unplugged.
2. Turn on your computer and start Windows. If the New Hardware
Found dialog box or any other wizard appears, click Cancel.
3. Insert the printer software CD shipped with your printer in the CDROM drive. The Installer dialog box appears. If it does not, double-click
the My Computer icon, click the CD-ROM icon, then click Open on
the File menu. Then, double-click Epsetup.exe. (For floppy disk users,
insert the disk in a disk drive and double-click the My Computer icon,
then the floppy disk drive icon, and then Setup.exe.)
