Configuring the network interface

Make sure the all-in-one is set up and the software for the all-in-one is installed on your computer before taking the steps below. See the manual shipped with the all-in-one for detailed instructions.

Note:

If EpsonNet WinAssist is installed on your computer, uninstall it before following the steps below.

It is a good idea to write down the SSID and WEP Key or WPA Personal password before taking the steps below.

Insert the Software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

If the Installer dialog box does not appear automatically, double-click EPSETUP.EXE on the CD-ROM.

From the Welcome screen, click Next.

Read the license agreement, and then click Agree.

Select Connect the Wireless Print Server.

Connect the network interface and the all-in-one with a USB cable. Finally, turn on the all-in-one.

Note:

Be sure to use the USB cable that comes with the network interface. If the all-in-one has a built-in USB cable, use it to connect to the network interface.

Connect the square connector on the USB cable to the USB upstream connector on the network interface, and then connect the other end to the USB port on the computer.

Connect the power cord to the AC adapter, and then plug the AC adapter into the network interface's DC-IN connector. Finally, plug the power cord into a properly grounded wall outlet.
