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.
Parent topic: Wi-Fi or Wired Networking
23
Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup
You can set up your product to communicate with your computer using a wireless router or access point.
The wireless router or access point can be connected to your computer over a wireless or wired network.
Note: You cannot connect to a wired and wireless network at the same time.
1 Epson product
2 Wireless router or access point
3 Computer with a wireless interface
4 Computer
5 Internet
6 Ethernet cable (used only for wired connection to the wireless router or access point)

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.
• WEP-64 bit (40 bit)
• WEP-128 bit (104 bit)
• WPA PSK (TKIP/AES); also known as WPA Personal
• WPA2 PSK (TKIP/AES); also known as WPA2 Personal
• WPA (TKIP/AES)
• WPA2 (TKIP/AES)
Latin America: 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.

Incorrect IP address is assigned to the
printer. Confirm IP address setup of the
network device (hub, router, or access
point). Contact your network administrator
for assistance.
If your router or access point limits the number of
connected devices, raise the connection limit. See your
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.

Color Density

Parent topic: Selecting Basic Print Settings - Windows
Advanced B&W Photo Options - Windows
If you select Advanced B&W Photo as the Color option, you can easily produce neutral and toned
black-and-white prints. Whether your photo is color or grayscale, you can use this screening and color
management technology to create stunning black-and-white prints. Click Advanced and select any of
the available options. You can also use Black Enhanced Overcoat to print darker tones of black.
Color Toning
Adds tone (hue) to your black-and-white output. The default is Neutral, which provides a neutral tonal
scale print. You can also choose other popular presets such as Cool, Warm, and Sepia. Note that
the presets affect the target in the tone color circle.
63
Tone
Changes the entire tonal scale of your black-and-white output. While Darker is the default setting, you
may see better results if you choose Dark. The tone color circle adjusts the hue of your black-andwhite print. Click on any portion of the color wheel or enter corresponding values to customize the
tone (hue) to add to your print. The closer you select to the edge of the wheel, the more color you add.

High Speed
Speeds up printing but may reduce print quality.
Edge Smoothing
Smooths jagged edges in low-resolution images such as screen captures or images from the Web.
Finest Detail
Sharpens edges on vector-based data including text, graphics, and line art. (This setting does not
affect photographs.)
Note: Enabling Finest Detail may decrease the print speed.
Black Enhance Overcoat
Prints darker tones of black by overcoating the black ink with gray.
64
Note: Printing with Black Enhance Overcoat increases the edge margins. Select Quality Options >
Minimize Top Margin to reduce the size of the margins. This may lower print quality and may cause
paper that curls easily to rub against the print head.
Parent topic: Selecting Basic Print Settings - Windows
Color Management Options - Windows
You can adjust the Mode setting to fine-tune the colors in your printout or turn off color management in
your printer software.
EPSON Standard (sRGB)

Adobe RGB
Matches image colors to the Adobe RGB color standard. Use this setting if your source file was
captured in Adobe RGB.
PhotoEnhance
Lets you choose from various Scene Correction settings to automatically analyze your photos.
Note: PhotoEnhance uses a sophisticated face recognition technology to optimize photos that include
faces. For this to work, both eyes and the nose must be visible in the subject's face. If your photo
includes a face with an intentional color cast, such as a statue, you may want to turn off
PhotoEnhance to retain the special color effects.
ICM
Automatically adjusts colors based on the printer’s ICC profile and the selected Media Type setting,
using the Image Color Matching system. Click the Advanced button to choose the input profile and
other settings.
Note: In most cases, you get better results by applying color management in your application, rather
than in the printer driver.

application software.
Note: An ICC profile is required if color management is turned off.

• Select EPSON PrecisionDot for any type of photographic printing.
• Select Advanced B&W Photo to print black-and-white photos on certain types of photo paper.
See the list of Advanced B&W Photo options for details. If your paper type does not support this
option, print black-and- white photos using the EPSON PrecisionDot setting.

• Fix Photo: Improves the color, contrast, and sharpness of flawed photos.
Note: Fix Photo uses a sophisticated face recognition technology to optimize photos that include
faces. For this to work, both eyes and the nose must be visible in the subject's face. If your photo
includes a face with an intentional color cast, such as a statue, you may want to turn off Fix Photo
to retain the special color effects.
• Off (No Color Management): Turns off color management in your printer software so you can
manage color using only your application software.
Note: If desired, you can instead use ColorSync to manage colors. In most cases, you get better
results by applying color management in your application, rather than in the printer driver.
