Epson ET-3700 - All-In-Ones Printer Quick Installation Guide

Welcome to the Epson ET-3700 All-In-One Printer Quick Installation Guide! This guide is designed to help you quickly and easily set up your Epson ET-3700 printer so you can start printing, scanning, and copying in no time. Follow these simple steps to get your printer up and running efficiently.

Unpack

First, carefully unbox your Epson ET-3700 printer and remove all packaging materials. Inspect the printer for any signs of damage during shipping. Ensure that all included accessories, such as ink bottles and power cables, are present and undamaged.

2. Installing Ink Bottles

The Epson ET-3700 features easy-to-fill ink tanks instead of traditional ink cartridges. Follow these steps to install the ink bottles:

• Open the ink tank compartment cover on the printer.
• Remove the caps from the ink bottles.
• Insert the ink bottle nozzles into the corresponding color-coded ink tanks.
• Squeeze the ink bottles gently to fill the ink tanks.
• Close the ink tank compartment cover securely.

Note: Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to fill the ink tanks. The ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

1. Remove all protective materials from the product.

   

2. Lift up the scanner unit. Remove all protective materials from inside the product.

   . Powering On the Printer

   After installing the ink bottles, plug the power cord into the printer and connect it to a power source. Press the power button to turn on the printer. Wait for the printer to initialize and the ink charging process to complete.

   

4. Loading Paper

Next, load paper into the paper tray of your Epson ET-3700 printer:

• Adjust the paper guides to fit the size of the paper you're using.
• Place a stack of paper into the paper tray, making sure it's aligned properly.
• Slide the paper tray back into the printer until it clicks into place.

Do not touch the flat white cable or the ink tubes and their translucent cover.

Fill ink tanks

Note: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

5. Connecting to Your Computer

To use your Epson ET-3700 printer with your computer, you'll need to connect it using a USB cable or wirelessly. Follow these steps to connect your printer:

• USB Connection: Plug one end of the USB cable into the printer and the other end into an available USB port on your computer.

• Wireless Connection: Access the printer's control panel or settings menu to connect the printer to your wireless network. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your network and enter the network password, if required.

  
  

Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

1. Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the ink tank you are going to fill.

   

2. Unpack one of the ink bottles. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove

   6. Installing Printer Drivers and Software

   To ensure proper communication between your computer and your Epson ET-3700 printer, you'll need to install the necessary printer drivers and software. Insert the installation CD into your computer's CD drive or download the drivers and software from the Epson website. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the drivers and software, making sure to select the correct printer model and operating system.

   7. Testing Your Printer

   Once the printer drivers and software are installed, it's a good idea to print a test page to verify that the printer is working correctly. Print a test document or image from your computer to ensure that the printer produces high-quality prints without any issues.

3. 

Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

3. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle up to insert it.

   

   8. Additional Setup Options

   Depending on your specific printing needs and preferences, you may have additional setup options to configure on your Epson ET-3700 printer. These may include adjusting print quality settings, setting up faxing capabilities, configuring scanning options, and more. Refer to the printer's user manual or online resources for instructions on how to customize these settings to your liking.

   9. Troubleshooting

   If you encounter any issues during the setup process or while using your Epson ET-3700 printer, refer to the troubleshooting section of the user manual or visit the Epson support website for assistance. Common issues may include connectivity problems, print quality issues, or error messages. Epson's customer support team is available to provide personalized assistance and help you resolve any issues you may encounter.

   Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottles into position; they are keyed for each color.

4. Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle. Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.

   

   
   

   Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.

5. When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close the ink tank cap. Place the remaining ink aside; you will need it later.

   

   
   

   Note: Replace the bottle cap and tighten it.
