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.

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)

Note: Error codes and messages listed here may not all apply to your product.

Error Codes and Messages

Error code and message Solution

Confirm that the network cable is connected and network devices such as hub, router, or access point are turned on.

Make sure your router, access point, and/or hub are turned on, and the network cable is securely connected to your device and to your product.

If you are trying to set up Wi-Fi, remove the network cable and set up Wi-Fi again. Ethernet and Wi-Fi cannot be connected at the same time.

Error code and message Solution

E2, E3, or E7

No wireless network names (SSID) found. Confirm that the router/access point is turned on and the wireless network (SSID) is set up correctly. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

No wireless network names (SSID) found. Confirm that the wireless network name (SSID) of the PC you wish to connect is set up correctly. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Entered security key/password does not match the one set for your router/access point. Confirm security key/password. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Check the following:

• Make sure your router or access point is turned on, and is correctly connected to your computer or network device.

• Turn off the router or access point, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it on again.

• Move your product closer to your router or access point, and remove any obstacles between them. Also move your product away from devices such as wireless phones or microwaves.

• Confirm that the SSID shown on the network connection report matches the label on your router or access point. Also make sure your SSID uses only ASCII characters and symbols, or your product cannot display the SSID correctly.

• If you are trying to connect using the WPS push button method, make sure your router or access point supports it.

• If you are using a network password, check the label on your router or access point to confirm that you are using the correct password, or check with your network administrator or router/access point documentation.

• If you are connecting to a smart device that generates an SSID, check the device documentation for the SSID and password you should use.

• If your wireless connection suddenly disconnects, and another smart device was added to the network using a WPS push button method or your network was set up using a non-WPS push button method, try downloading and installing your product software again.

Error code and message Solution

Security mode (e.g. WEP, WPA) does not match the current setting of the printer. Confirm security mode. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

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)

• 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)

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.

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

Error code and message Solution

Confirm the connection and network setup of the PC or other device. Connection using the EpsonNet Setup is available. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Make sure your computer or network device are turned on. Also make sure that you can access the internet and other devices on the same network from the devices you are trying to connect to your product.

If you still cannot connect to your product, turn off your router or access point, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it on again. Download and install your product software again to reset your network settings.

Make sure other devices on the network are turned on and do the following:

• If your product's Obtain IP Address setting is set to Manual, check the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses on the network connection report to see if they are correct. If not, correct the settings.

• If DHCP is enabled, set your product's Obtain IP Address setting to Auto. If you want to use the DHCPassigned address as a static address, set the Obtain IP Address setting to Manual, enter the product's IP address as listed on the network connection report, and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

If you still cannot connect to your product, turn off your router or access point, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it on again.

E11

Setup is incomplete. Confirm default gateway setup. Connection using the EpsonNet Setup is available. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Make sure your router, access point, and/or hub are turned on. Also make sure the TCP/IP setup on your router, access point, and/or hub is not set manually; this may cause your product's network settings to differ from the manually set up devices.

If you still cannot connect to your product, do the following:

• Turn off your router or access point, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it on again.

• Download and install your product software again to reset your network settings.
