• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any

required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA
passphrase correctly.

• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless

access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.

• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the

maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access
Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices
are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of
that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,
move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.

• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi Direct password on

your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing

DIRECT-xxxxxxxx

connection

settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.

• If you connected your product to a Windows computer using Wi-Fi Direct and it automatically selected

Access Point Mode, you may have trouble accessing a low-priority Internet connection. Check the
network connection or adapter settings in the Windows Control Panel and set the

Internet metric

setting to

100

for your version of the Internet Protocol.

Network Software Cannot Find Product on a Network

If EpsonNet Setup cannot find your product on a network, try these solutions:

• Make sure your product is turned on and connected to your network. Verify the connection using your

product control panel.

• Check if your network name (SSID) contains non-ASCII characters. Your product cannot display non-

ASCII characters.
