Plugging In and Connecting the

Printer

Your printer connects to your computer via the parallel or USB interface.

Macintosh computers can only be connected via the USB interface.

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.

Note:

In order to connect your PC via the USB interface, your computer must be a

Windows Me, 98 or Windows 2000 pre-installed model that comes with a USB port

or Windows Me upgraded from a Windows 98 pre-installed model.

Using a parallel interface for Windows users

To connect the printer to your PC, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel

cable. Follow the directions below.

1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off. Plug

the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

2. Plug the cable connector

securely into the printer's

interface connector. Then,

squeeze the wire clips

together until they lock in

place on both sides. If your

printer has a ground

connector screw to the right

of the interface connector,

connect the ground wire to

the ground connector screw.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel interface. If

there is a ground wire at the computer end of the cable, connect it to the

ground connector at the back of the computer.

Using a USB interface for Windows and Macintosh users

To connect the printer to a USB port, you need a standard, shielded USB

cable. Follow these steps.

Note:

❏For best results, you should connect the printer directly to the computer’s USB

port. If you must use multiple USB hubs, we recommend that you connect the

printer to the first tier hub.

❏If your computer has more than one USB port, you may plug the cable in

wherever is convenient.

1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off. Plug

the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

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 Photo 1290”

or “Printer Software for EPSON Stylus Photo 890” CD-ROM shipped with

your printer.

The printer software CD-ROM contains:

❏Printer software (printer driver and utilities)

The printer driver runs, or “drives,” your printer; use it to make settings

such as print quality, speed, media type, and paper size. The Nozzle

Check, Head Cleaning, and Print Head Alignment utilities help you

keep your printer in top operating condition. EPSON Status Monitor 3

(for Windows) or EPSON StatusMonitor (for Macintosh) notifies you of

printer errors and displays printer status information such as the

amount of ink remaining. The Status Monitor also guides you through

the ink cartridge replacement process.

❏EPSON PhotoQuicker

This utility lets you print digital photos using a wide variety of layouts

and effects with ease.

❏Online guides

The online Reference Guide helps you learn more about your printer.

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.

Refer to the appropriate section.

Installing the Ink Cartridges

This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC chip

accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even if a

cartridge is removed and inserted again, all of its ink can be used. However,

some ink from both color and black ink cartridges is consumed each time a

cartridge is inserted because the printer automatically checks reliability.

Be sure to use the ink cartridges packed with your printer the first time that

you install ink cartridges.

Refer to the appropriate section.
