Connection options

Wireless connection

You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print. For the fi rst installation, we recommend using a USB cable (not included) to simplify wireless setup. After the printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted to remove the cable.

If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, or you don't have a USB cable, you will need to use the buttons on the printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on your computer screen during software installation; they will explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.

Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network password:

• Network name...
• Network password...

If you don't have this information, contact the person who set up your network.

For more help with setting up your printer's wireless network connection, you can view how-to-videos at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Direct USB connection

Make sure you have a USB cable (not included).

Any problems?

If you experience problems during setup, see below:

Network setup was unsuccessful.

• Make sure you select the right network name (SSID).
• If you see a firewall alert message, click Unblock or Allow to let setup continue.
• If your network has security enabled, make sure you enter your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) correctly. If it has uppercase (ABC) or lowercase (abc) letters, make sure you enter them correctly.
  

Press or to scroll through characters. Press to switch between uppercase (ABC), lowercase (abc), or numbers (123). Press to move to the next character, and to delete a character.
