6 After installing all 8 cartridges, lower the ink levers.

The printer begins charging the ink delivery system

and the

pause light flashes.

7 After approximately 2 minutes, ink lever messages

appear on the LCD. Follow the instruction to raise

or lower the ink levers.

Caution: Charging takes about 8 minutes. Never turn

off the printer, open the cover, remove the rear cover,

release the paper lever, or remove the ink cartridges or

maintenance tank while the pause light is flashing, or

you may damage the printer.

8 When READY appears on the LCD display, charging is complete. Close the ink

compartment covers.

Caution: Always turn off the printer using the power button. Then wait until the LCD display

turns off. This ensures that the print head is safely capped.

Install Software for a USB Connection

Your printer software works with Windows Vista,

Vista x64, Windows

XP, XP Professional x64

Edition, and Macintosh

OS X 10.4.9 or higher, or 10.5 or higher. If you are using the USB interface,

follow the steps below to install the printer software. If you are using the Ethernet interface, follow the

steps in Chapter 1 of the Printer Guide to configure the printer and install the software.

When you’re finished installing software, update the printer firmware if necessary. See chapter 1 of the

Printer Guide for instructions.

Macintosh

1 Make sure your Macintosh and printer are turned on.

2 Connect the USB cable.

3 Insert the Epson Stylus

Pro 4880 printer CD.

If necessary, double-click

the Epson CD-ROM

desktop icon.

4 Double-click the Epson icon.

5 Click Install.

Note: If you see a message that the installer has

detected an older version of EpsonNet Config on

your system, you must uninstall the older version

drag the EpsonNet folder to the trash. Then

reinstall your printer software.

6 Follow the on-screen instructions to install all

the necessary software and manuals, and place a

link to the Epson Professional Imaging Website

on your desktop.

7 Open the Applications folder, then open the Utilities folder. Open the Printer Setup

Utility and click the Add icon at the top of the printer list window. (If you see a message that

you have no printers available, click Cancel.)

Unpack

1 Make sure you have these items:

Warning: The printer weighs about 88.6 pounds (40.2 kg) without ink or paper and should be

lifted and moved by two people.

Note: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are

vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

2 Remove all the packing materials and tape. Check carefully for all the tape inside and

outside the printer. Save the box and packaging in case you need to ship the printer.

3 Remove the two screws and the carriage retainer bracket.

4 Unlock the print head carriage by pulling the green tab to the left. Do not remove the tab.

Caution: Do not push the green tab down or you may break it.

Set Up and Turn On the Printer

1 Connect the power cord to the

AC inlet on the back of the

printer. (Do not connect the

printer cable yet.)

2 Plug the other end of the power

cord into a properly grounded

electrical outlet.

3 Insert the paper tray into the slots at the

front of the printer.

Install Ink Cartridges

1 Press the power button to turn on the printer.

2 Press both ink compartment covers to open them.

3 Raise both ink levers.

4 Remove each ink cartridge from its package and gently shake

the cartridge.

Note: The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer uses

some ink to charge the printing system, so print yields may be

lower with the first cartridges. Subsequent ink cartridges will last

for their full rated life.

5 Install the ink cartridges in the printer. Hold each

cartridge with the arrow pointing toward the printer,

then insert it into its slot. Make sure you insert each

cartridge in the correct slot.
