NOTE: You will need to have your printer set up and connected to your computer before the installation of the Epson driver or MelcoRIP. Please see the Melco User Manual for the initial setup of your printer.
NOTE: You need to install the Epson print driver that comes with your printer before you install MelcoRIP. Otherwise, you will have to manually set the ports for the MelcoRIP Output Queue #1 & #2.
Make sure the computer is not connected to the printer and completely power up the printer. If the printer is powered on while connected to the computer, Windows may attempt to find and install drivers. The drivers found might not be the appropriate ones for your printer. When the printer is in the "READY" state, continue with the driver installation.
The following installation screen will appear. Choose "Easy Install"
The installation wizard will now install all of the necessary drivers. As long as your printer is connected to your computer during installation of the drivers, the install wizard will automatically assign the printer port for your Melco printer.
A window will pop up explaining that the printer needs to be on and connected. Turn on the printer. The program will search for the printer and automatically configure the port.
Once setup has finished, it will tell you what port your Melco printer is printing from. It is not necessary to write this information down as it can be found under the properties for the printer in your "printer and faxes" window on your computer.
