Setting Up the Printer | 1-1
Once you’ve assembled the printer, you’re ready to finish setting it up. Even
if you have no experience, you can easily complete this process. You should
allow at least two hours so that you don’t feel rushed.
This chapter covers the following information:
•
Installing the ink cartridges
•
Loading the roll paper
•
Running a nozzle check
•
Connecting the printer to your computer
•
Installing the printer software and configuring it for network use, if
necessary
•
Aligning the print head from the printer software
Installing the Ink Cartridges
It’s important that the first ink cartridges you install be the ones that came
with the printer. The chips on these cartridges are programmed to cause the
printer to initialize as the correct ink model: Archival Ink or Photographic
Dye Ink. Ink cartridges that you later buy from EPSON do not have the
same program on their chips.
Before you begin, make sure that the printer is plugged into a grounded
outlet. Then locate the ink cartridges that came with the printer. Follow
these steps to install the cartridges:
1. Press the
P
Power
button on the control panel to turn the printer on.
