Quick Setup

Here's how to set up your new
EPSON Stylus

Unpack the Printer

Remove any packing material from the printer, as described on
the Notice Sheet in the box. Save all the packaging so you can
use it if you need to transport the printer later. You'll find these
items inside:
output tray
paper support
Place the printer flat on a stable desk near a grounded outlet.
Leave plenty of room in back for the cables and for a stack of
continuous paper, if you use it. Leave enough room in front for
the paper support and output tray you'll install in the next step.
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
Also, be sure to follow the Safety Instructions in the Introduction
of your User's Guide.
