2Before You Begin

Before You Begin

Make sure you installed ink cartridges and loaded paper as described on the

Start Here sheet. Then follow the instructions in this guide to set up the printer

for use on a network.

Tip:

For a video tutorial and other information on how to connect the printer to your wireless

network, go to: epson.com/support/wireless

Do one of the following:

■If you’re installing the printer for the first time, see below.

■If you’re setting up an additional computer to use the printer on the network,

follow the steps in “Install on Additional Computers” on page 23.

Choose Your Connection Type

Wireless. To make a wireless connection for your printer, see page 3.

Wired. To connect your printer with an Ethernet cable, see page 15.

Wireless Network Installation 3

Wireless Network Installation

To connect your printer wirelessly, you need to know the name (SSID) of your

wireless network. If your network has security enabled, you also need to know the

WEP key or WPA passphrase. Write down this information below:

■Network name (SSID): _________________________________________

■WEP key or WPA passphrase: ____________________________________

This information is stored in your network’s router, and may have been entered

when the router was first set up. If you don’t have this information, contact the

person who set up your network before you begin. You may also be able to log

onto the router from your computer and check its setup screens. See your router’s

instruction manual for details.

Note:

You should also write down whether the WEP key is in ASCII or hexadecimal format. If

the WEP key is 5 or 13 characters, it’s ASCII. If it’s 10 or 26 characters, it’s hexadecimal.

If your router gives you a choice of WEP keys to use, note which one is currently active.

Usually the first WEP key is active, unless you’ve selected a different one.

If your passphrase contains upper- or lowercase letters, be sure to note them correctly.

The printer supports the following wireless security modes: WEP 64, WEP 128, and

WPA-PSK.

Connect the Ethernet Cable

Note:

This is a temporary connection used to configure the printer. You will be prompted to

remove the cable when configuration is complete.

1. Connect an Ethernet network cable to the LAN (10/100) port on your printer.

2. Connect the other end to any available LAN port on your router, access point,

or hub.

If you don’t have access to an Ethernet port on your router, access point, or

hub, connect the printer directly to your computer’s Ethernet network port.

Note:

To use this configuration method, your computer must be connected to the

network wirelessly, and your computer’s Ethernet connection must be set to

obtain an IP address automatically.

3. Continue with the steps in the next section to install software.
