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.

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.

Scan Resolution Guidelines

The resolution setting in your scanning software, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the resolution from the default resolution set by the software. Follow these guidelines to determine the resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
72
Increase the resolution setting in your scanning software. Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.
Select the resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Cannot Scan Over a Network

If you cannot scan over a network (ES-60W/ES-65WR) with Epson ScanSmart or start the Epson Scan 2 Utility, try these solutions:
• Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is set to the Wi-Fi position.
• Make sure the computer and scanner are connected to the same network (or network segment/VLAN).
• Move the scanner and computer or smart device closer to the router or access point.
• If you cannot scan using the start button on the scanner, make sure you restarted your computer after installing the scanning software.
• If you are scanning a large original at a high resolution, a network communication error may occur. Try scanning again at a lower resolution.
• Check the network connection setting in the Epson Scan 2 Utility.
• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access point.
• If you see the message "Network product is not available: currently being used by user", there may be a communication error between the scanner and computer. Restart the scanner.
• If the Firewall function is active, the scanner may not be discovered by the Epson Scan 2 Utility. Open the Epson Scan 2 Utility, enter the IP address for your scanner, and click Add.
• If the scanner and computer cannot communicate and are connected to the same network (or network segment/VLAN), the privacy separator on your router must be disabled. Follow the instructions in your router documentation to disable the privacy separator.

Scanner Cannot Connect to a Wireless Router

If your scanner has trouble finding or connecting to a wireless router (ES-60W/ES-65WR), try these solutions:
• If you did not successfully connect to a network while installing your product software, select the link at the end of this topic and follow the steps in "Manually Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network".
87
• If you are connecting the scanner via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), make sure you activate WPS on your scanner within 2 minutes of activating WPS discovery mode on the router by pressing the WPS button or enabling the WPS setting in your router firmware.
• Make sure to place your scanner within contact range of your router. Avoid placing your scanner near a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a filing cabinet.
Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for instructions. Be sure to connect your computer and scanner only to a 2.4 GHz network name (SSID).
• Verify that your router is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or another device.
• You may need to temporarily disable your firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router. Then try scanning again. You can also unblock your scanner driver or network address in your firewall or anti-virus software.
• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router. If access restrictions are set, add your scanner's MAC address to your router's address list. To obtain your scanner's MAC address, check the label on the back or bottom of your scanner. Then follow the instructions in your router documentation to add the address to the list.
• If your router does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that came with your scanner to enter your wireless network name manually.
• If your router has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA passphrase correctly.
• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.
• The scanner may not be able to communicate with a computer with multiple network interfaces. Disable all network interfaces except for the interface connected to the scanner.
• Enable the DHCP function on the access point or router.
• Check that the scanner's IP address is set correctly.
