Epson Small-in-One XP-850 - Printer Manual

Unpack

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Remove all protective materials from the printer, including from inside the printer.
Lower the scanner unit.

Turn on and adjust

Connect the power cord to the back of the printer and to an electrical outlet.

Do not connect to your computer yet.
To load legal-size paper in the ADF, you will need to place the printer with its right side at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall or any other objects.
Press the power button, then adjust the control panel.

Select settings

Select your language and country.
Touch the screen to select the desired option. Press or to see more countries.
Select Summer if Daylight Saving Time is in effect; otherwise, select Winter.
Select the date format.
Use the numeric keypad to set the date, then press Done.
Select the time format (12h or 24h).
Use the numeric keypad to set the time.
Press Done when finished.

Note: You can change the date and time settings using the product's control panel.

Install ink cartridges

Lift up the scanner unit.
Unpack the ink cartridges.

Do not touch the areas shown below. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
Remove the cap from each ink cartridge. Store the caps in the included plastic bag.

Note: Save the caps and use them to recap the ink cartridges after removing them for storage or disposal.
Insert the cartridges head first in the holder for each color. Press each cartridge down until it clicks.
Lower the scanner unit.
The printer starts priming the ink. This takes about 6 minutes. When you see a completion message on the printer's LCD screen, priming is complete.
Note: The cartridges included with the printer are designed for printer set up and not for resale. After some ink is used for priming, the rest is available for printing.

Don't turn off the printer or raise the scanner unit while the printer is priming or you'll waste ink.

Load paper

The printer has 2 paper cassettes and a rear paper feed slot. You can load the following paper sizes:

Cassette 1 (upper cassette): 4 × 6- or 5 × 7-inch photo paper.
Cassette 2 (lower cassette): letter-size, A4, legal-size, or 8 × 10-inch paper. (See the instructions below for loading paper in the lower cassette.)
Rear paper feed slot: one sheet at a time

Lower the front cover (if it's not open already).
Pull on the front cover to pull out the lower paper cassette.
Slide the edge guides outward.
Set the front edge guide to the paper size you are using. Then insert paper with the glossy or printable side facedown.

Note: Make sure the paper is loaded against the edge guide and not sticking out from the end of the cassette.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tight. Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the edge guides.
Keep the cassette flat as you insert it.

Note: The output tray will open automatically when you print

Connect the fax line

To fax, connect a phone cord to a telephone wall jack and to the LINE port on the back of your product. To connect a telephone or answering machine, use the EXT. port on your product.

Note: If you're connecting to a DSL phone line, you must use a DSL filter or you won't be able to fax. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.

Install software

Note: If your computer does not have a CD/DVD drive, you can download the software from the Epson website (see "Epson technical support").

Be sure to close your other programs, including any screen savers and virus protection software, before beginning this software installation.

Make sure the printer is NOT CONNECTED to your computer.
Windows: If you see a Found New Hardware screen, click Cancel and disconnect the USB cable. You can't install your software that way.
Insert the product CD.
Windows: If you see the AutoPlay window, click Run Setup.exe. If you see the User Account Control screen, click Yes or Continue.
Mac OS X: Double-click the Epson icon, if necessary.
Click Install (Windows) or Continue (Mac OS X) and follow the instructions on your computer screen.
When you see the Select Your Connection screen, check the "Connection options" section on this sheet for more information.
Choose your connection. Then click Next (Windows) or Continue (Mac OS X) and follow the instructions on your computer screen.

Connection options

Wireless connection

You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend using a USB cable (not included) to simplify wireless setup. After the printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted to remove the cable.

If you're using Mac OS X 10.6.x, 10.7.x, or 10.8.x, or you don't have a USB cable, you will need to use the control panel on the printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on your computer screen during software installation; they will explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.

Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network password.

If you don't have this information, contact the person who set up your network.
To view how-to videos on setting up your printer's wireless connection, go to epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Direct USB connection

Make sure you have a USB cable (not included).

Wired network connection

Make sure you have an Ethernet network cable (not included). You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print.

Any problems

If you experience problems during setup, see below:

Network setup was unsuccessful

Make sure you select the right network name (SSID).
If you see a firewall alert message, click Unblock or Allow to let setup continue.
If your network has security enabled, make sure you enter your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) correctly. Passwords are case sensitive. Be sure to correctly enter uppercase, lowercase, and numeric/special characters.

Press the touch screen buttons repeatedly to scroll through characters.
Press or to move the cursor.
Press to delete.
Press Done when you're finished entering your password.
