Wi-Fi Networking

See these sections to use your scanner over a Wi-Fi network (ES-60W/ES-65WR).
Network Security Recommendations Connecting to an Existing Wi-Fi Network Direct Wi-Fi Mode Setup Epson DocumentScan App for iOS/Android

Network Security Recommendations

To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network environment using appropriate security measures.
Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and fax lines, and other intrusions:
Enable security on your wireless LAN
Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better secure your network.
Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall
Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead, connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
Change the default administrator password on your product
If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs, passwords, and contact lists.

Connecting to an Existing Wi-Fi Network

You can set up your scanner to communicate with your computer using a wireless router. The wireless router can be connected to your computer over a wireless or wired network.

Manually Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

You can use your product's software installer to connect the scanner to a Wi-Fi network.
Note: You must have a computer with a wireless adapter to set up the connection.
1. See the Start Here sheet for instructions on downloading and installing your scanner's software.
Note: The scanner powers off after 1 minute of inactivity. If the scanner turns off during the procedure, you may need to repeat some of the steps.
2. Select the wireless connection method for the scanner when prompted.
The scanner is added to the network and connected to the computer for network scanning.
Parent topic: Connecting to an Existing Wi-Fi Network

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

If your network uses a WPS-enabled wireless router, you can quickly connect your scanner to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Note: To check if your router is WPS-enabled, look for a button labeled WPS on your router. If there is no hardware button, there may be a WPS setting in the software for the device. Check your network product documentation for details.

Using WPS to Connect to a Network
If you have a WPS-enabled wireless router, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect your scanner to the network.
1. Follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet to install the scanner software on your computer.
2. Make sure the scanner is turned on.
3. Set the Wi-Fi switch to the Wi-Fi position.
25
4. Enable WPS on your router by pressing the WPS button or enabling the WPS setting in your router
firmware.

5. Press and hold the Wi-Fi connect button on the scanner until the ready, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi
AP lights flash alternately.
Note: If you do not complete this step within 2 minutes, repeat these steps to try again.
When the ready, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi AP lights on the scanner stay on, the scanner is connected to the network.
Note: If the ready light stays on, but the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi AP lights flash simultaneously, connection has failed. Restart the scanner and router, move them closer together, and repeat these steps to try again.
Parent topic: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Using WPS PIN Mode to Connect to a Network
If you have a WPS-enabled wireless router that supports PIN mode, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN mode to connect your scanner to the network.
1. Follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet to install the scanner software on your computer.
2. Find the WPS PIN number setting in your router's firmware.
3. Make sure the scanner is turned off and set the Wi-Fi switch to the Wi-Fi position.
4. Press and hold the Wi-Fi connect button and slide and hold the power switch for about ten
seconds until the ready, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi AP lights flash alternately.
26
The scanner enters WPS discovery mode for two minutes.
5. Use your computer to enter the PIN code 01234565 into the WPS PIN number setting in the router
firmware within two minutes.
Note: If you do not enter the code within 2 minutes, repeat the steps to try again.
Connection setup starts when the ready light flashes, and the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi AP lights flash alternately. When the ready, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi AP lights on the scanner stay on, the scanner
is connected to the network.
