Choose your connection

You can connect your printer to your existing network (wireless or wired) or directly to your computer using a USB cable. See below for details on each connection method.

Wireless Connection

You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print. For the ﬁrst installation, we recommend using a USB cable to simplify wireless setup. After the printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted to remove the cable.

Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network password:

• Network name

• Network password

If you don’t have this information, contact the person who set up your network.

Direct USB Connection

Make sure you have a USB cable. Do not connect the printer to your computer until you’re instructed to do so.

Wired Ethernet® Connection

Make sure you have an Ethernet network cable (not included). You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print.

your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) correctly. If it has uppercase (ABC) or lowercase (abc) letters, make sure you enter them correctly.

• Try moving the product to a different location. Avoid

placing it next to a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object such as a ﬁling cabinet.

• If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name

(SSID), manually enter your wireless network name. Make sure there aren’t any access restrictions (such as MAC address ﬁltering) set on the wireless router. If access restrictions are set, register the product’s MAC address on the router. Print a Network Status Sheet (see below) to obtain the MAC address. Then see your router’s manual for instructions.

are currently enabled in the printer. Press the Network Information button to print a network status sheet.

WiFi button on your printer and the WPS button on

your router within 2 minutes of each other.

The product’s WiFi light is on but you cannot print.

Your router might not be assigning IP addresses automatically using DHCP. If it isn’t, you will need to set the product’s IP address manually. Make sure it is set correctly for your network.

Genuine Epson Paper

Epson offers a wide variety of papers to meet your needs; visit Epson Supplies Central for more information.

Printing Problems

• Make sure the size of paper you loaded matches the paper size selected in your printer software.

• Printing stops when an ink cartridge is expended. If a color cartridge is expended, you may be able to continue printing temporarily with black ink; see the online User’s Guide for more information. If the black cartridge is expended, you must replace it to continue printing.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesn’t feed correctly, remove the paper and fan the sheets, then reload them. Don’t load paper above the tabs on the edge guides.

Print Quality Problems

• Make sure your paper is loaded printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).

• For the best print quality, use Epson papers and genuine Epson ink cartridges.

• Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the control panel or in your printer software. See the online User’s Guide for more information.

• If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning. See the online User’s Guide for more information.

• If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

• The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge levels and replace cartridges, if necessary. See the online User’s Guide for more information.
