Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the XP-980 is straightforward, primarily managed through the Epson Smart Panel app, which guides you through Wi-Fi connection and ink installation. Ensure the printer is placed on a flat, stable surface with enough clearance at the rear for the speciality media feed.
Compatibility: Works with standard Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet networks. It is compatible with a wide range of mobile devices via the Epson Smart Panel and Creative Print apps.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the firmware updated via the Epson software to ensure security, as per the 7-year security update commitment.
- Use only genuine Epson Claria Photo HD inks to maintain printhead health and image longevity.
- Periodically run the print head cleaning cycle if you notice streaking or colour shifts.
