You are getting a wireless signal, but you are not able to print.

Make sure the printer and print server are securely connected, both are

plugged in, and the printer is turned on.

If you're running Windows, make sure you set up your network port correctly.

See the instructions beginning on page 28.

Make sure your wireless link has adequate signal strength—at least 50 percent.

If the signal is weak, try moving the print server and printer to a different

location, away from large metal objects and other devices that interfere with

radio signals, such as cordless phones and microwave ovens.

Make sure you're connecting to the correct print server. Check the MAC

address printed on the back of the print server against the MAC address that

appears in the WP-Admin Wireless Server Search window.

Check the printer's lights to see if there is a problem with the printer. See

Printer Basics for details.

You are using AirPort and you are unable to see the printer in the Print

Center or the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X), or in the Chooser

(Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x).

Make sure the printer and print server are securely connected, both are

plugged in, and the printer is turned on.

Check for upgrades to your AirPort software on the Apple web site at

www.apple.com. If you're using AirPort Extreme, select

in the AirPort Admin utility.

For OS X, make sure AppleTalk is active in your Network Preferences.

If you have recently upgraded your Mac OS, try reinstalling the upgrade.

If you are using AirPort in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode, change the

channel to 3 in the Create Network section of the AirPort Admin Utility.

Then create a network name and restart the print server. Launch WP-Admin

and try reconfiguring the print server.

If this problem happens frequently, EPSON recommends that you use the

print server with an access point or AirPort base station. With AirPort, your

print server works more reliably in infrastructure mode.
