Typing the Password

You see this prompt when the password feature is activated:
Enter CURRENT Passsword:
Type the correct password and press Enter. To protect your
password, the screen does not display the characters you type.
If you do not type the correct password, the screen displays an X
and repeats the passord prompt. Try typing the password again.
The computer allows you three tries to enter it correcly. After the
third incorrect attempt, the system displays a blinking face icon
and locks up. You must reset the system to try again.

If you want to change your current password or disable the
password function, you need to use the Setup program. See
Chapter 5 for instructions. If you forget your password, call the
EPSON Connection for assistance at 1-800-922-8911 in the
