Connection options
Any problems?
Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which you
want to print. The installer may prompt you to connect the printer
to your computer with a USB cable temporarily. After the printer
is connected to the network, you will be prompted to remove the
cable (USB cable not included).
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.
If your router or access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS), you can connect the printer by pressing the WPS button
on your router, then pressing the Wi-Fi button on your printer.
To view how-to-videos on setting up your printer’s wireless
connection, go to epson.com/support (U.S.) or
epson.ca/support (Canada).
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 network connection
Make sure you have an Ethernet® cable (not included). You must
install the software on every computer from which you want to
print.
Network setup problems
• If you’re connecting the printer via Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS), make sure you press the Wi-Fi button on the printer
within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your
router. The Wi-Fi button on the printer must be pressed for
3 seconds.
• Try connecting to the router or access point with your
computer or another device to confirm that it is working
correctly.
• Press the button to print a network status sheet. Verify
that the network settings are correct and check the signal
strength. If it’s weak, try moving the printer closer to your
router or access point. Avoid placing the printer next to a
microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal
objects such as a filing cabinet.
• When using TCP/IP, make sure the printer’s IP address is
set correctly for your network. If your network does not
assign IP addresses using DHCP, you need to set the IP
address manually.
• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address
filtering, are set on the router or access point. If access
restrictions are set, add your printer’s MAC address to your
router’s address list. To obtain your printer’s MAC address,
press the button to print a network status sheet. Then
follow the instructions in your router or access point
documentation to add the address to the list.
• Disable the firewall temporarily to see if that may be
causing the issue. Contact your firewall manufacturer for
assistance.

1 Open your document or photo.
2 Select the print option in your application.
3 Select your EPSON printer.
4 In Windows, select Preferences or Properties.
5 Choose your printer settings. (In Windows, click OK when
you’re done.)

Print quality problems
• Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually
the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).
• 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.
