Installation
Basic Printer Setup
Whether you have a large format printer of a standard 13”W format printer, the following steps
will apply.
Open the box and carefully unpack your Epson Printer. 1.
Follow the printers setup instructions.2.
Connect the Printer’s power cord to the back of the printer and connect the op-3.
posite end to an AC electrical outlet. (We recommend the use of a surge protector
to prevent power spikes from damaging the internal components of your printer.)
Load the FastINK cartridges into the appropriate slots.4.
Load the Epson cartridges into the appropriate slots. 5.
NOTE: You do not need to turn ON the printer to install ink cartridges. In fact, should you turn ON your
printer and connect it to your computer at this time, you may receive a “Hardware not found!” error message.
is is not a critical error and can be fixed by turning off your printer. Until you install the Epson Printer Drivers,
your computer won’t recognize your printer. We will cover installing the printer drivers in the next section.

Listed below are model specific ink cartridge loading instructions for the Standard versions of
FastRIP.
ep S O n r1800/r2400
e Epson R1800 and R2400 printers are shipped from the factory with UltraChrome (Pig-
ment) inks. UltraChrome ink will NOT work for printing film positives. UltraChrome ink will
NOT adhere or dry on film transparencies. We have developed an ink called FastINK and can be
used to replace the UltraChrome Black cartridge. e Black ink is the only cartridge that need
be replaced since film positives are only printed in black.
For both the Epson R1800 and R2400, the FastINK Black cartridge goes in slot 5.
