How to Set up an Epson All-in-one Printer

An Epson all-in-one printer setup is very easy as long as you have the instructions and the included software. Be patient and in a few, you will have a fully functional all-in-one printer that can also copy and scan documents or pictures.

Things You'll Need

• Owner's Manual
• Epson All-in-one Printer

Instructions

Step-by-Step

1. Unpack your all-in-one from its box and shipping materials. Make sure you remove the tape and protective cardboard coverings from the fragile and moving parts.

2. Plug the power adapter and cord into the printer and into a surge protector. Turn the printer on and check to see that it has power.

3. Load new ink cartridges into the cartridge bay. You will need to remove the protective plastic tape covers on the inkjets. Then fill the paper tray.

4. Turn the printer off. You will need to load the all-in-one printer drivers and software onto your computer. This software should be on the CD that came with your all-in-one printer.

5. Restart your computer. Now you will need to plug the printer's USB cable into the proper port on the printer and your computer. The software will automatically recognize your new printer.

6. Print a test page. In addition, become familiar with all the print, scan and copy functions. Your printer manual should give detailed instructions on how to use and maintain your new machine.

Tips & Warnings

• Have your printer manual, software CD and cables handy before you set up your new printer.

• Place your new printer close enough to your computer for all the cables to reach.

• Do not plug your all-in-one printer into your computer without first installing the software and drivers. Exercise caution when working with any electrical device, in order to avoid shock.
