Updating the printer software in Windows Me, XP, or 2000

Uninstalling the printer software

For Windows

Note:

To uninstall applications in Windows 2000, it is necessary to log on as a user with administrative privileges
(a user who belongs to the Administrators group).

To uninstall applications in Windows XP, it is necessary to log on with a Computer Administrator account. You cannot uninstall applications if you log on as a Limited account user.

Turn off the printer and disconnect the cable from the printer.

For Windows Me, 98, 95, and 2000, click the Start button, point to Settings, then select Control Panel.
For Windows XP, click the Start button, then select Control Panel.

Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon and select EPSON Printer Software from the list. Then, click Add/Remove (or Change/Remove in Windows XP and 2000).

Select the EPSON Stylus C63 icon, then click OK.

Click OK.

Note:

If you are using the USB port to connect the printer in Windows Me or 98, you need to uninstall an additional USB component. Select EPSON USB Printer Devices from the list in the Add/Remove Programs utility, click Add/Remove, then click OK when a message prompts you to restart the computer. If EPSON USB Printer Devices does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs list, double-click EPUSBUN.EXE on the printer software CD-ROM, then follow the on-screen instructions.

For Macintosh

Note:

You cannot uninstall the printer driver in Mac OS X.

Turn on your Macintosh and insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive. The EPSON printer software disk will open automatically.

If separate folders containing installer icons for several languages appear, double-click the folder for your preferred language, then double-click the Installer icon in the Disk 1 folder inside the Disk Package folder.
