Checking for Software Updates

It's a good idea to check Epson's support website occasionally for free updates to your product software. Visit epson.com/support (U.S.), epson.ca/support (Canada), or latin.epson.com/support (Caribbean) and select your product.

Note: Your printer is designed to work only with genuine Epson-brand ink cartridges. Other brands of ink cartridges and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly or at all. Epson periodically provides firmware updates to address issues of security,

performance, minor bug fixes and ensure the printer functions as designed. These updates may affect the functionality of third-party ink. Non-Epson branded or altered Epson cartridges that functioned prior to a firmware update may not continue to function.

• Windows: Your printer software automatically checks for updates. You can also manually update the software by selecting Software Update here:

• Accessing the Windows Desktop and right-clicking the icon for your product in the right side of

the Windows taskbar, or clicking the up arrow and right-clicking .

• On the Maintenance tab in the printer settings window

You can also update the software by selecting EPSON Software Updater in the EPSON or Epson Software program group, accessible by the Start button, or on the Start or Apps screens, depending on your version of Windows.

• OS X: You can manually update the software by opening the Applications > Epson Software folder and selecting EPSON Software Updater.

• macOS 10.12.x, 10.13.x, 10.14.x, or 10.15.x: You can manually update the software by opening the App Store, selecting Updates, searching for a software update option for Epson Software, and selecting Update.

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

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.
