If you have problems scanning over a network (DS-80W), try these solutions:
- Make sure the
Wi-Fi switch is set to the
Wi-Fi position. - Make sure the computer and scanner are connected to the same network (or network subnet/VLAN).
- Move the scanner and computer or smart device closer to the access point.
- If you
cannot scan from the
start button on the scanner,
make sure you restarted your computer after installing the scanning
software. - You cannot start a scan from the start button over a wireless
network. Connect the scanner using a USB cable before scanning from
the start button (DS-80W).
- If you are scanning a large original at a high resolution, a network communication error may occur. Try scanning again at a lower resolution.
- If network communication was interrupted while starting Epson Scan 2, exit Epson Scan 2, wait a few seconds, and restart the program. If Epson Scan 2 cannot restart, turn off your scanner, turn it back on, and try starting Epson Scan 2 again.
- Check the network connection setting in the Epson Scan 2 Utility.
- You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access point.
- If you see the message "Network product is not available: currently being used by user", there may be a communication error between the scanner and computer. Restart the scanner.
- Epson Scan 2 does not support networks that use only IPv6. Use Epson Scan 2 on a network that supports IPv4.
- If the Firewall function is active, the scanner may not be discovered by the Epson Scan 2 Utility. Open the Epson Scan 2 Utility, enter the IP address for your scanner, and click Add.
- If the scanner and computer cannot communicate and are connected to the same network (subnet or VLAN), check if your router uses the privacy separator and disable it, if necessary. Follow the instructions in your router documentation to disable the privacy separator.
