Introduction 3

Introduction

The Epson Stylus®C88+ printer is the ideal desktop printer for business and

home use. With its exceptional speed and print resolutions, it is practical for

everyday tasks, yet capable of delivering superior photo printing.

Your printer features Epson’s exclusive DURABrite®Ultra pigment inks. These

quick-drying inks are resistant to water, fading, and smudging on plain and photo

paper—so your prints stand the test of time. Because the ink particles remain near

the surface and don’t bleed through, they’re ideal for double-sided prints.

Note:

The light resistance of prints is rated up to 100 years on specialty papers, and 70 years

on plain paper. The light resistance rating is based on accelerated testing of prints on

Epson®special media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary

according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity, and

other atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For

maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them.

After you have set up your Epson Stylus C88+ as described on the Start Here sheet,

use these instructions to:

■Load paper

■Print from Windows®or on a Macintosh®

■Replace ink cartridges

■Solve simple problems

For more information about your printer, see the on-screen User’s Guide. An icon

for the manual was automatically placed on your desktop when you installed the

software.

Please follow these guidelines as you read the instructions:

Warning:

Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.

Caution:

Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.

Note:

Notes contain important information about your printer.

Tip:

Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.

4Loading Paper

Loading Paper

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to

select the correct paper for your job. If you are just printing a rough draft, plain

paper is fine. For best results, however, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink

jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great

printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See page 13 for more

information.

Follow these steps to load paper in your printer:

1. Open the output tray and pull out its extension.

2. Squeeze the left edge guide and slide it to the left.

Loading Paper 5

3. Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide. Then slide the

left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly).

Note:

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of most types of

photo paper. (See the on-screen User’s Guide for specific paper capacity

guidelines.)

Follow these guidelines when loading paper:

■Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.

■Load the printable side face-up. It’s often brighter or whiter than the

other side.

■Always load the short edge first, even when printing in landscape mode.

■Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.

■If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer sheets.

■If you’re using special paper, check the package for special loading

instructions.
