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 1270"
CD-ROM shipped with your printer.
Your printer software includes:
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 replacement process.
Online guides
The online Reference Guide and Color Guide help you learn more about
your printer and color printing.
If you are using the floppy disk version of the software, make a backup copy
of the EPSON printer software disk before you begin installation. 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.
