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.

your router or access point to confirm that you are using
the correct password, or check with your network
administrator or router/access point documentation.

• If you are connecting to a smart device that generates
an SSID, check the device documentation for the SSID
and password you should use.

Confirm security mode. Contact your
network administrator for assistance.

E-6

MAC address of your printer may be
filtered. Check whether your router/access
point has restrictions such as MAC address
filtering. See the documentation of the
router/access point or contact your network
administrator for assistance.

If the security on your router or access point is not one of
the following types, change the type of security on your
router or access point and reset your product's network
settings.

Also make sure you are connecting to the 2.4GHz band
on your network and using the password for that band.

If your router or access point has MAC address filtering
enabled, register your product's MAC address so it is not
filtered. Locate the MAC address on the network
connection report and check your router or access point
documentation for instructions.

If your router or access point is using shared
authentication with WEP security, confirm that you are
using the correct authentication key and index.

router or access point documentation for instructions.

If your product's Obtain IP Address setting is set to Auto,
enable DHCP on your router or access point. If it is set to
Manual, the IP address may be out of range or on a
different network segment; set a valid IP address using
your product control panel or the Web Config utility.

Manual, check the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway addresses on the network connection
report to see if they are correct. If not, correct the
settings.

• If DHCP is enabled, set your product's Obtain IP
Address setting to Auto. If you want to use the DHCP­assigned address as a static address, set the Obtain IP
Address setting to Manual, enter the product's IP
address as listed on the network connection report, and
set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

If you still cannot connect to your product, turn off your

devices.

If you still cannot connect to your product, do the
following:

• Turn off your router or access point, wait about 10
seconds, and turn it on again.

• Download and install your product software again to
reset your network settings.

• If your router or access point uses WEP security with
several registered passwords, make sure that the first
registered password is set on your product.

Make sure your router, access point, and/or hub are
turned on. Also make sure the TCP/IP setup on your
router, access point, and/or hub is not set manually; this
may cause your product's network settings to differ from
the manually set up devices.

If you still cannot connect to your product, do the
following:

• Turn off your router or access point, wait about 10

Loading Paper in the Rear Paper Feeder

You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes.

1. Flip the feeder guard forward then pull out the paper support.

50

2. Slide the edge guides out all the way.

3. If you are inserting a stack of paper, fan the sheets first and tap the stack on a flat surface to even
the edges.

Note: Do not fan or curl photo paper.

4. Do one of the following:

• Insert paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first, in the center of the paper support.

51

• Load up to 10 envelopes in the center of the paper support. Load them printable side up and flap

edge left.

• Load a sheet of loose-leaf or other paper with holes facing as shown.

• To load a sheet of paper longer than legal size, close the paper support, then load the leading

edge of the paper as shown.

52

5. Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly. Then flip the feeder guard back.

Note: Do not place objects on the feeder guard. Doing so may prevent paper from feeding.

6. Pull out the output tray and open the paper stopper.

7. If prompted by the product's LCD screen, select the size and type of the paper you loaded and press
the OK button.

Always follow these paper loading guidelines:

• Do not load more than the maximum number of sheets specified for the type of paper you are using.

• Do not load paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guides.

• Load paper short edge first.

Note: You can load paper long edge first only if you have selected the User-Defined paper size setting
and set the width of the paper as the size of the long edge.

53

• Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.

• Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or curled, or paper that has

stickers on it. Using these types of paper can cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

• Fan and align the edges of envelopes before loading them. When stacked envelopes are puffed up

with air, flatten them before loading.

• Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin, or that have plastic windows or adhesive

surfaces.

• Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.

• Return unused paper to its packaging to avoid curling or reduction in print quality.

• If you use paper with binder holes, load only one sheet at a time. Adjust the print position of your file to

avoid printing over the holes.

Placing Originals on the Scanner Glass

You can place originals up to this size on the scanner glass: Letter (8.5 × 11 inches [216 × 279 mm]) or
A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches [210 × 297 mm]).

Note: To view animated instructions on how to place originals on the scanner glass, press the help
button and select How To > Place Originals

glass before scanning.

2. Place your original facedown on the scanner glass with the top facing into the corner. Slide the
original to the edges of the indicated corner.

Note: If you are using Epson ScanSmart to scan multiple photos at once, just make sure they are at
least 0.2 inch (4.5 mm) away from the edge of the scanner glass and at least 0.8 inch (20 mm) away
from each other.

Note: The edges of your original may be cropped by 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) from the edge of the
scanner glass. Manually position your original away from the edges to prevent cropping.

Note: When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent exterior light from shining directly onto
the scanner glass.

3. Close the document cover gently to keep your original in place.

Caution: Do not push down on the document cover or scanner glass or you may damage the
product.

Warning: Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the document cover or you may be
injured.
