Connection options
Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which 
you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend 
using a USB cable (not included) to simplify wireless setup. 
After the printer is connected to the network, you will be 
prompted to remove the cable. 
If you’re using Mac OS X �0.6, �0.7, or �0.8, or you don’t 
have a USB cable, you will need to use the control panel on 
the printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions 
on your computer screen during software installation; they will 
explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.
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.
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 (not included).
Wired network connection
Make sure you have an Ethernet
®
 network cable (not 
included). You must install the software on every computer 
from which you want to print.
Any problems?
If you experience problems during setup, see below: 
Network setup was unsuccessful.

your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) 
correctly. If it has uppercase (ABC) or lowercase (abc) 
letters, make sure you enter them correctly.
