Cannot Scan Over a Network
If you cannot scan over a network, try these solutions:
• Make sure the computer and product are connected to the same network (or network segment/VLAN).
• Move the product and computer or smart device closer to the router or access point.
• If you cannot scan from your product control panel, make sure you restarted your computer after
installing the product software. Make sure the Event Manager program is not being blocked by your
firewall or security software.
Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and
5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,
give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home
Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for
instructions.
• Check the scanning setting assigned in Epson Event Manager.
• If network communication was interrupted while starting Epson Scan 2, exit Epson Scan 2, wait a few
seconds, and restart it. If Epson Scan 2 cannot restart, turn off your product, turn it back on, and try
restarting Epson Scan 2 again.
• If you are scanning a large original at a high resolution, a network communication error may occur. Try
scanning again at a lower resolution.
• Check the network connection setting in the Epson Scan 2 Utility.
• Check the scanner setting and reset the connection if necessary using Epson Scan 2 Utility:
Windows 10: Click and select EPSON > Epson Scan 2 Utility . Make sure your product is
selected. If necessary, select the Other tab and click Reset .
Windows 8.x : Navigate to the Apps screen, select EPSON , and select Epson Scan 2 Utility . Make

• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access
