Everything You Need for Photo-Quality

Everything You Need for Photo-Quality

Prints

Prints

The EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM includes all the software you need for
photo-quality output: your printer software and EPSON Digital PhotoLab™.

What Is Your Printer Software?

To print, you need some printer software (also known as a printer driver) to tell the
printer how to print. This software is what you use to select settings that control the
look of your documents. A step-by-step guide to printing starts on page 19 for
Windows® and on page 23 for Macintosh®.

What Is EPSON Digital PhotoLab?

To help you get the most out of your printer, EPSON Digital
PhotoLab includes award-winning photo-editing, photo­organizing, and photo-layout software. This creative software
collection is described in more detail on page 15.

Printer Setup

Printer Setup

Setting up your printer is easy. Just follow the simple steps on the following pages.
Before you set up your printer, make sure your system meets the requirements
listed in the Introduction of your User’s Guide.

1 Unpack the Printer

Remove any packing material from the printer. See the Notice Sheet in the box for
details. Save all the packaging so you can use
it if you need to transport the printer later.

You need the following items to
set up your printer:

■

Your printer and paper support

■

Ink cartridges (black and color)

■

CD-ROM with your printer

paper support

software and EPSON Digital
PhotoLab

■

Printer cable (not included)

Note:

To connect to a PC, you’ll need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel printer
cable (6 to 10 feet long). To connect to a Macintosh, you’ll need an
Apple® System Peripheral-8 cable (Belkin brand recommended).

(located on the back of

this guide)

Place the printer flat on a stable desk near a grounded outlet. Leave plenty of room
in back for the cables and enough room in front for opening the output tray.

Do NOT put the printer:

■

In an area 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.

2

Be sure to follow all the Safety Instructions in your User’s Guide.

2 Attach the Paper Support

Insert the paper support in the top slot on the back of the printer.

3 Install the Ink Cartridges

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

2. Make sure the power is off
(the power light is off).

Caution:

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.

3. Lower the output tray and open
the printer cover.

4. Press the power button to turn on the printer. The power light flashes, the
black and color ink out lights come on, and the ink cartridge holders move
left to the installation position.

Caution:

Always use the power button to turn the printer on or off. Never use
an external switch—such as a power strip—to turn off the printer.

5. Lift the two ink cartridge clamps.

6. Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then remove only the
yellow part of the tape seal on the top of each cartridge. Do not remove the
white part.

4

Caution:

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the cartridge or
you will permanently damage it. It’s OK if the tape does not tear off
exactly along the dotted line. Do not try to remove the clear seal from
the bottom.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If
ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

7. Insert the ink cartridges into their holders. Be sure the labels are face up and
the arrows point toward the back of the printer. The black ink cartridge goes on
the left and the color ink cartridge goes on the right.

8. Push down the clamps until they lock in place.

9. Press the cleaning button and close the printer cover.

The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system.
Charging can take two to four minutes. During this time, the power light
flashes, and the printer makes various sounds. Don’t turn off the printer or
interrupt the charging process or you’ll use more ink than necessary. Charging
is complete when the power light stops flashing and stays on.

Caution:

Never turn off the printer when the power light is flashing. But if the
light is still flashing after five minutes and the printer isn’t moving or
making noise, you may turn off the printer.

4 Connect the Printer to Your Computer

Connecting to a PC

1. Turn off the printer and your computer.

2. Connect the cable to the printer’s
parallel interface; then squeeze the
wire clips together to lock them in
place. (If your cable has a ground
wire, connect it now.)

3. Connect the other end of the cable to
your computer’s parallel port and
secure it as necessary.

Note:

The printer is automatically assigned to parallel port LPT1; if you want to
use a different port, see your Windows documentation for instructions.

5

Connecting to a Macintosh

1. Turn off the printer and your Macintosh.

2. Connect the cable to the serial connector on
the back of the printer.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to either
the modem port or the printer port on
your Macintosh.

Problems? Need Help?

Here are some basic troubleshooting tips if you have any problems setting up your
printer or using the software. You can also turn to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” in
your User’s Guide or look in your printer software online help.

If you’re having problems installing your printer software . . .

If you see the “New Hardware Found” screen in Windows 95, click Cancel. Yo u

cannot install your printer software that way.

Make sure your printer is turned on and the printer cable is securely connected to
the printer and computer.

installing the software again.

If you need help with the creative software in EPSON Digital PhotoLab . . .

For assistance using the programs you installed with EPSON
Digital PhotoLab, contact the company that produced the

software. For contact information, launch EPSON Digital
PhotoLab. Then click HOW TO GET HELP.

If you installed the ink cartridges and the printer started making noise . . .

The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its state-of-the-art
ink delivery system. Charging can take two to four minutes. Please wait until
charging is finished before you turn off the printer. If you turn off the printer while
it is charging, it will begin charging the system again and use up more ink than
necessary.

27

If your printer makes noise when you turn it on or after it has been sitting for a while . . .

Your printer is performing routine maintenance.

If you can’t see the EPSON Progress Meter or Status Monitor 2 in Windows 95 . . .

Make sure you installed the Status Monitor. If you didn’t, you can install the Status
Monitor by reinstalling the printer software and making sure you choose to install
the Status Monitor. If you installed the Status Monitor, make sure it is turned on. See
Chapter 4 of your User’s Guide for details.

If your printout is faint or has gaps in the image . . .

Make sure your paper isn’t loaded face down (the printable surface should be
loaded face up), damaged, old, or dirty. If it is, reload a new stack of paper with the
printable side up.

Your print head nozzles may need cleaning. For instructions, see Chapter 5 of your
User’s Guide.

If your printout is blurry . . .

28

Check the thickness lever position. If it’s in the + position, your printer is set for
thicker paper or envelopes and your image may smear. For most papers, set the
thickness lever to the 0 position.

Make sure your paper isn’t damp or loaded face down (the printable surface should
be loaded face up). If it’s damp, reload a new stack of paper.

If your printout contains incorrect characters . . .

Your printer’s interface cable may not be securely connected.

Check that the cable is locked firmly in place at both ends to ensure proper
communication between your printer and computer. After adjusting the cable, try
printing from an application again.

Your printer may not be selected as the Windows default printer or as the current
printer in the Macintosh Chooser.

1. Prepare two blank formatted diskettes and label them diskette 1 and diskette 2.

2. Make sure Windows is running.

3. Insert the EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM.

4. In Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, the installer program starts automatically

and you see the EPSON Setup CD window. (If it doesn’t start, click Start, select
Run, and type D:\Setup700 [substitute the correct drive letter]; then click OK.)

In Windows 3.1, select Run from the File menu. Then type D:\Setup700
(substitute the correct drive letter) and click OK.

5. At the EPSON Setup CD screen, click the Make Diskettes button. Select your

operating system and click OK. Follow the instructions on screen to create the

diskettes. Use the diskettes you created to install the printer software on your
computer. See page 7 for instructions.

Making Macintosh Diskettes

Before making diskettes from the CD-ROM, name the formatted diskettes you’ll use
Disk 1 and Disk 2, using a capital “D” and a space between Disk and the number. If
they’re not named correctly, the diskettes won’t be able to install your software.

1. Turn on the Macintosh and turn off any virus protection programs, as necessary.

2. Insert the EPSON Stylus Photo 700 CD-ROM.

3. Double-click the EPSON CD-ROM Disk 1 folder.

4. Insert the diskette you named Disk 1.

5. Select all the icons in the CD-ROM Disk 1 folder and drag them to the Disk 1

icon on your desktop.

6. After the files have been copied, eject Disk 1. Then repeat steps 3 through 5 for

the Disk 2 folder and diskette.

Use the diskettes to install the printer software on your Macintosh. See page 13 for
instructions.
