Notice for Windows XP Users
To use this product on the computer running Windows XP Service 
Pack 2, follow the steps below to change the settings in Windows 
Firewall.
Note:
If you register programs to Windows Firewall as exceptions, ports used 
by the programs are open to incoming communications from an external 
network. Each time that you allow an exception for a program to 
communicate through Windows Firewall, your computer is made more 
vulnerable. If you have many exceptions and open ports, your computer 
can become a victim of unknown intruders or viruses. Epson takes no 
responsibilities for damages caused by allowing exception in Windows 
Firewall.

EasyInstall
If you configure the network interface using the computer
