Users often find it difficult to set up their Epson printer. Even they find it difficult to comprehend the setup process discussed on the internet. Your Epson Expression ET-3700 needs to be set up with a network before connecting it with Epson Connect. Here we have discussed every aspect of Epson Expression ET-3700 setup in a precise manner.
Epson Expression ET-3700 Setup Process
We have broken the overall complicated process into simple steps. Move your way down the process discussed below and get your work done in the least possible time:
Unpack
Remove the protective materials from your printer and lift up the scanner unit. Then, remove the protective materials available inside the printer.
Fill Ink Tanks
Before you proceed with this stage, note that it requires careful handling of ink. Otherwise, the ink might spill and cause damages to your product. If ink spills accidentally, then wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Now, unpack one of the ink bottles and turn the cap gently to open the bottle. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot of the filing port and insert it. Instead of squeezing the ink bottle, wait for the ink to fill the tank. The ink flows into the tank and removes the ink bottle when the tank is full. After that, securely close the cap of the ink tank and set aside the remaining ink for future use. Repeat the same steps for filling other ink cartridges as well. After completing the process, close the cover of the ink tank as well as the scanner unit.
Connect the Power Cord
Connect a compatible power cord with your Epson printer and an electrical outlet. Raise the Control Panel and press the Power button to start the printer. Press the ‘Or; button to get the list of available languages on the LCD screen. Select a preferred language and hit the ‘OK’ button on the printer. Press the ‘OK’ button again as the message to access the Start Here sheet appears on the LCD screen of the printer. You will be redirected to a new screen where you will need to press and hold the Help button for about 3 seconds at least. Your printer displays a start initialization message and you shall press the Start button to charge the ink. The process will take 10 minutes approximately and notifies you once it is completed. Press ‘OK” to continue further with the setup process.
Use the Remaining Ink
Fill the ink tank with the ink remaining in the ink bottles and close ink tank and then the scanner unit. Press Next and then the OK button.
