For United States Users

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

❑Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

❑Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

❑Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

❑Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will

invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels which

exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the

user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this

equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused

interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

For Canadian Users

Getting Started

The EPSON®StylusCOLOR printer gives you presentation-

quality color and monochrome printing with quiet operation.

To get started with your EPSON Stylus COLOR printer, please:

❑Make sure you have the equipment you need to use this

printer as described below in “System Requirements.”

❑Read about using energy wisely and the important safety

instructions in this introduction.

❑Read Chapter 1, “Setting Up,” to test and install the

Windowsprinter driver software.

❑Refer to the rest of this User’s Guide for help with selecting

paper, choosing printer driver settings, maintenance,

troubleshooting, optional interfaces, and printer

specifications.

❑See the Color Printing Tips booklet to learn to produce

high-quality color documents.

If you need additional assistance, see “Where to Get Help for

U.S. and Canadian Users” on page 3.

Getting Started 1

System Requirements

To use your EPSON Stylus COLOR printer, you need

Microsoft®Windows 3.1 or higher or Windows for Workgroups

3.1 or higher, a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable, and:

Minimum system Recommended system

80386/16 MHz processor 80386/25 MHz or faster processor

4MB RAM 8MB RAM

10MB More than 10MB free hard disk space

VGA monitor VGA or better monitor

Your computer dealer can help you update your system if it

does not meet these requirements.

Energy Star Compliant

Your EPSON Stylus COLOR printer complies with the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program,

which promotes the manufacture of energy-efficient printers,

computers, and monitors.

The EPA estimates that if all desktop computers, printers, and

other peripheral devices met Energy Star standards, energy

cost savings would exceed $1 billion annually and carbon

dioxide emissions would be reduced by 20 million tons.

All of EPSON’s ink jet printers conform to Energy Star

standards.

The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any

product or service.

2 Getting Started

Energy-saving tips

Here are a few additional tips you can use to be even more

energy-wise:

❑If your monitor isn’t Energy Star compliant, turn it off

when you’re not using it.

❑Use the print preview option on your software before you

print something. You’ll be able to catch formatting errors

before you commit them to paper.

❑If you have an electronic mail system available to you, send

E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you’ll

save paper and storage space too.
