Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your ET-4900, ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection and place the printer on a level surface. During the initial ink fill, follow the instructions precisely to prevent air bubbles in the tubes. Compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, the printer integrates best with the Epson Smart Panel app, which is available on iOS and Android. For maintenance, keep the printer powered on or in sleep mode so it can perform periodic nozzle cleaning cycles, and ensure that dust is kept away from the paper tray and document feeder.
