Epson Cx4800 Printer Stylus Installation

The Epson Stylus CX4800 is a multifunction inkjet printer that comes equipped with a document scanner and memory card reader. Other features include borderless print capability, a maximum print speed of up to 20 pages per minute and USB 2.0 connectivity. The CX4800 uses a four-cartridge CMYK print system, capable of producing documents at a maximum resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi. The printer is compatible with both Windows and OS X operating systems and comes packaged with several applications, such as Epson Scan and ArcSoft PhotoImpression.


Instructions


1. Grip the front edge of the scanning unit, located at the top of the printer. Lift the scanning unit upwards. Examine the ink cartridge holder, located on the left side of the printer's interior; remove the tape securing the holder in place, if present. Lower the scanning unit back into place.


2. Examine the rear panel and locate the indentation near the bottom edge. Connect one end of the power cord to the port located on the right side of the indentation. Connect the remaining end of the power cord to a nearby wall outlet. Inspect the top panel and find the control panel, located to the left of the scanning unit. Press the power button, located at the top of the control panel.


3. Open the scanning unit again. Find the cover installed at the top of the ink cartridge holder. Grip the rear edge of the cover and lift it upwards; open the cover completely. Remove the black ink cartridge from its packaging and insert it into the far-right slot in the cartridge holder. Press down on the cartridge until it snaps into place. Install the magenta cartridge in the slot to the left, followed by the yellow and cyan cartridges.


4. Close the cover on ink cartridge holder. Press down on the rear edge of the cover until it snaps into place. Return the scanning unit back to its original location. Press the ink button, located just below the power button. Wait approximately three minutes for the printer to charge the ink; proceed when the printer's power light stops flashing.


5. Pull open the paper support, installed at the rear edge of the scanning unit. Pull out the support extension, installed at the top of the paper support. Find the feeder guard, located between the paper support and the scanning unit. Pull the feeder guard open. Find the paper guides, located at the bottom of the paper support. Slide the guides outward.


6. Fill the paper support with plain paper. Slide the guides inward until they touch the sides of the stack of paper; if the tabs attached to the tops of the guides are unable to fit over the top of the paper, remove some paper from the stack. Return the feeder guard to its original position.


7. Insert the installation disc into your computer. Launch the installer program and follow the onscreen instructions; when prompted connect one end of the USB cable to the port located on the rear of the printer, near the upper-right corner. Connect the remaining end of the cable to an unused USB port on your computer.
