Using the Printer Software with Macintosh

Setting Up the USB Connection

Note:

If you are connecting a USB cable to your Macintosh through a USB hub, be sure to connect using the first hub in the chain. The USB interface may be unstable depending on the hub used. If you experience problems with this type of setup, connect the USB cable directly to your computer's USB connector.

For Mac OS X users

Open the Applications folder on your hard drive, then open the Utilities folder and double-click the Printer Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3) or Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2 or below) icon.

Click Add Printer in the Printer List dialog box.

Select EPSON USB from the pop-up menu. Select AL-C1100 in the Product list, then click Add.

Close the Printer Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3) or Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2 or below).

For Mac OS 9 users

Select Chooser from the Apple menu. Click your printer icon, then click the USB port your printer is connected to.

Select Background Printing to turn background printing on or off.

Note:

Background printing must be turned on for the EPSON Status Monitor 3 to manage print jobs.

When background printing is on, you can use your Macintosh while it is preparing a document for printing.

Close Chooser.
