Epson WorkForce 545 - Manual (Page 4)

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 temporary USB cable connection 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 10.6 or 10.7, 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.
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:

correctly. If it has uppercase (
ABC) or lowercase (abc)
