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.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup

You can set up your product to communicate directly with your computer or another device without requiring a wireless router or access point. In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, the product itself acts as a network access point for up to 4 devices.
1 Epson product
2 Computer with a wireless interface
3 Other wireless device

Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode

Parent topic: Wi-Fi Networking
Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode
You can enable Wi-Fi Direct mode to allow direct communication between your product and computer or other devices without a wireless router or access point. Make sure paper is loaded before you begin.
Note: If you are printing from a computer, make sure you installed the network software as described on the Start Here sheet.
1. Hold down the Wi-Fi button and press the network status button until the Wi-Fi light and Wi-
Fi Direct light flash. Then release both buttons.
After both lights stop flashing, the Wi-Fi Direct light remains on.
26
2. Hold down the network status button for 10 seconds to print a network status sheet.
3. Use your computer or wireless device to select the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password listed
in the Wi-Fi Direct section of the network status sheet.
You should now be able to print to your product directly from your computer or device. If you cannot print successfully, repeat the process above and make sure you enter the password exactly as written on the network status sheet.
Parent topic: Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

If your network uses a WPS-enabled wireless router or access point, you can quickly connect your product 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 or access point. If there is no hardware button, there may be a virtual WPS button in the software for the device. Check your network product documentation for details.

Using WPS to Connect to a Network

Parent topic: Wi-Fi Networking
Using WPS to Connect to a Network
If you have a WPS-enabled router or access point, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect your device to the network.
Note: To check if your router is WPS-enabled, look for a button labeled WPS on your router or access point. If there is no hardware button, there may be a virtual WPS button in the software for the device. Check your network product documentation for details.
1. To connect to a WPS-enabled router, press the WPS button on your router or access point.
2. Press and hold down the Wi-Fi button on your product for 3 seconds.
The Wi-Fi light turns green to indicate a successful connection.
