Cannot Scan Over a Network

If you cannot scan over a network with Epson ScanSmart or start the Epson Scan 2 Utility, 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 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.
• 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 product and computer. Restart the product.
• If the Firewall function is active, the product may not be discovered by the Epson Scan 2 Utility. Open the Epson Scan 2 Utility, enter the IP address for your product, and click Add.
• If the product and computer cannot communicate and are connected to the same network (or network segment/VLAN), the privacy separator on your router must be disabled. Follow the instructions in your router documentation to disable the privacy separator.
