Reusing The Packaging; Connecting The Printer - Epson Pro 7600 Unpacking And Setup Manual

Reusing the Packaging

If you need to transport your printer a long
distance, the printer should be repacked using the
original boxes and packing materials. Contact
your dealer for assistance.

Connecting the Printer

For Windows
The method you use to connect the printer to your
PC depends on how you want to send your print
jobs. If you want to send them directly, use the
printer's built-in parallel interface or the USB
interface. If you want to send them over a
network, use an optional interface card.
Using the built-in parallel interface
To use the printer's built-in parallel interface, you
will need a shielded, twisted-pair cable. Then
follow the steps below to connect the printer to
your computer.
Note:
Before you connect the parallel interface cable,
disconnect the USB cable from the printer, if installed.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are
turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the
printer's interface. Then squeeze the wire clips
together until they lock into place on both
sides. If your cable has a ground wire, connect
it to the ground connector below the interface
connector.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the
computer's parallel port.

Using a USB connection (For Windows Me,
98, XP, and 2000)
To connect the printer to a USB port, you need a
standard shielded USB cable. Follow the steps
below to connect the printer to your computer.
Note:
The EPSON Printer Port and DMA transfer features
(For Windows Me, 98, and 95 only) of the EPSON
printer driver you install are not available with USB
connections. They are available only with the parallel
interface connection. For information on the EPSON
Printer Port and DMA transfer, see your Reference
Guide in the User Guides.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are
turned off.
2. Plug the appropriate end the cable into the
USB port on the back of the printer. (The end
that fits the printer has a different shape than
the end that fits the computer.)
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the
computer's USB port.
For Macintosh
The method you use to connect the printer to your
Macintosh depends on whether you want to send
print jobs directly to the printer using the printer's
built-in USB interface, or send print jobs to the
printer over a network using an optional interface
card.
