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

21

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)

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.

Note: To prevent dust from accumulating inside the printer, always keep the roll paper cover and cut
sheet cover closed unless you are loading or unloading media.

1. Remove any tape and protective paper from the roll. Make sure the paper is cut straight across to

avoid paper feeding problems.

Note: Avoid touching the surface of your paper or leaving it on a dusty area.

33

2. Make sure Load paper is displayed on the home screen. If it is not shown, make sure to remove any

roll paper or cut sheet paper from the printer.

3. Open the cut sheet and roll paper covers.

4. Remove the spindle.

34

5. Remove the transparent paper stop from the spindle.

6. Do one of the following:

• 2-inch roll core: If installed, remove the 3-inch core adapters from both paper stops. Push the two
tabs on the paper stop to remove the adapter.

35

• 3-inch roll core: Install the 3-inch core adapters on both paper stops. Align the triangle marks on
the paper stop with the triangle marks on the adapter and push the adapter in until the tabs are
secured.

7. Insert the spindle into the roll paper core as shown, with the lead edge of the roll paper facing as
shown.

36

8. Push the fixed paper stop against the roll paper until there is no gap between the paper stop and the
roll paper.

9. Attach the transparent paper stop to the spindle and press it in until there is no gap between the

Cutting Roll Paper

The printer has a built-in cutter that can automatically cut most paper types. When Auto Cut is turned on,
paper is automatically cut after each page prints, or if the roll paper leading edge is not straight.

Caution: The built-in cutter is not recommended for use with commercially available canvas or synthetic
paper, as it may dull the blade and require more frequent blade replacement. When you print on this
paper type, turn off the Auto Cut setting and cut the print off the roll manually.

To switch between automatic or manual cutting methods, adjust the Auto Cut settings in the printer
driver. The setting selected in the printer driver overrides the control panel setting.

Cutting Roll Paper Manually

You can keep your prints on the roll until you manually cut them.

1. Turn off the Auto Cut setting in the printer driver or the control panel, depending on the situation:

• If you want to cut the paper manually, turn off the setting in the printer driver. Select Advanced >

Roll Paper Option > Auto Cut.

Note: The Auto Cut setting in the printer driver overrides the control panel setting. The printer

driver setting returns to automatic cutting when you close the application.

• If you are using a paper type that cannot be cut with the built-in cutter, turn off the setting in the

control panel. From the roll paper information area, select Advanced Media Setting > Auto Cut >
Off.

• If you want to turn off Auto Cut during enlarged copying, HP-GL/2 mode printing, or printing

directly from the flash drive, turn off the setting in the control panel. From the roll paper information
area, select Advanced Media Setting > Auto Cut > Off. The setting option will be saved for the
currently selected paper type.

2. Print your document and wait for printing to finish.

3. From the roll paper information area, select Feed/Cut Paper.

40

4. To move the paper into cutting position, press and hold Forward or Backward until the position
you want to cut appears at the dotted line as shown.

5. To cut the paper, select Cut.

• If the Auto Cut setting is turned off only in the printer driver, the paper is cut and the paper leading

edge returns to the print wait position.

• If the Auto Cut setting is turned off in the control panel, select Cut to manually cut the paper with

scissors or select Print Cutting Guideline to print a line on the paper to guide with manual
cutting. Select Done when you are finished to rewind the paper.

Removing Roll Paper

When you finish printing on roll paper, you should remove it from the printer to avoid indenting or
creasing the lead edge of the paper.

1. Select Remove on the LCD screen. The roll paper rewinds automatically.

Note: Make sure the roll paper is rewound completely before removing it from the printer.

41

2. Open the cut sheet cover and roll paper cover.

3. Hold both ends of the spindle and lift it up from the spindle holders.

4. Remove the transparent paper stop from the spindle.

42

5. Remove the spindle from the roll paper.

6. Place the roll paper in its original package.

Note: Store roll paper on its end or horizontally (if the packaging end-caps are installed). Never store
roll paper on its side, as a flat spot can develop and lead to imaging artifacts on the prints. Do not
store roll paper in dusty areas. Print head maintenance and cleanings increase if dust accumulates
on the paper.

7. Attach the transparent paper stop to the empty spindle.

8. Place the spindle back into the printer.

43

9. Close the roll paper cover and the cut sheet cover.

Note: To prevent dust from accumulating inside the printer, always keep the roll paper cover and cut
