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).
