Installing The Printer Software - Epson Stylus Photo 1290 Setup Manual

If your computer has more than one USB port, you may plug the cable in
wherever is convenient.
1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off. Plug
the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
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.
After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the
software included on the "Printer Software for EPSON Stylus Photo 1290"
or "Printer Software for EPSON Stylus Photo 890" CD-ROM shipped with
your printer.
The printer software CD-ROM contains:
Printer software (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 cartridge replacement process.
EPSON PhotoQuicker
This utility lets you print digital photos using a wide variety of layouts
and effects with ease.
Online guides
The online Reference Guide helps you learn more about your printer.
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.
Refer to the appropriate section.
