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.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup

You can set up your product to communicate directly with your computer or another device without requiring a wireless router or access point. In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, the product itself acts as a network access point for up to 8 devices.
1 Epson product
2 Computer with a wireless interface
3 Other wireless device

Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode

Parent topic: Wi-Fi or Wired Networking
Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode
You can enable Wi-Fi Direct mode to allow direct communication between your product and computer or other devices without a wireless router or access point. Make sure paper is loaded before you begin.
Note: If you are printing from a computer, make sure you installed the network software as described on the Start Here sheet.
1. Hold down the Wi-Fi button and press the network status button until the Wi-Fi light and Wi­Fi Direct light flash alternately. Then release both buttons.
After both lights stop flashing, the Wi-Fi Direct light remains on.
23
2. Hold down the network status button on the product for at least five seconds to print a network status sheet.
Note: If you release the button before five seconds has passed, a network connection report is printed instead of a network status sheet.
3. Use your computer or wireless device to select the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password listed in the Wi-Fi Direct section of the network status sheet.
Note: If you are connecting an Android device, the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct lights flash simultaneously. Do one of the following:
• Press the Wi-Fi button to connect the device.
• Press the stop button to cancel the connection request.
You should now be able to print to your product directly from your computer or device. If you cannot print successfully, repeat the process above and make sure you enter the password exactly as written on the network status sheet.

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.

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.
• WEP-64 bit (40 bit)

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.
E8
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.
You can also try turning off your product and the router or access point, waiting about 10 seconds, and turning them on again.
