I tried to install my product on my Mac with a wireless connection, but the installation failed. What should I do?

  • You'll need to set up your software and product again. Do the following:

    Reset your Product's Network Settings

    1. Reset the product's Wi-Fi settings on the product's control panel by doing the following:

      Press the up or down arrow buttons to select Menu, then press the OK button. Select System Administration, then press the OK button. Enter the administrator password, if necessary. Select Restore Default Settings, then press the OK button. Select Wi-Fi/Network Settings, then press the OK button. Press the up arrow button to reset the selected settings.

    2. If you're unable to complete the instructions above, contact Epson. Otherwise go to the next section.

    Disable the Firewall

    1. Open the menu and select System Preferences, then click either Security & Privacy or Security.
    2. Select the Firewall tab and disable the firewall.

      If you have other firewall software enabled, you'll also need to disable it. If you don't know how to disable it, contact your firewall provider for help.

      Note: This step is needed to install the product's software and complete the Wi-Fi setup. Remember to enable your firewall software after you complete the Wi-Fi setup.

    3. If you're unable to complete the instructions above, contact Epson. Otherwise go to the next section.

    Initialize your Router and Set Up your Product with a Wi-Fi Connection on a Mac

    Important: You'll need to know your network name (SSID) and network password before you can set up your product. If you don't know them, contact the manufacturer of your router or the person who set up your network.

    1. Unplug your router's power cord from the power outlet, wait a brief period, then plug it back in. You may need to re-establish the connection for the other devices on your network.
    2. Download the Drivers and Utilities Combo Package from the Downloads tab for your product.

      Note: Make a note of the file name and save the location so you can easily retrieve it.

    3. Open the file you downloaded, and follow the on-screen instructions. When you see the Select Your Connection screen, select Wireless connection, click Continue, then follow the instructions on your computer screen.



    4. When you see the Select Setup Option screen, select Set up printer for the first time, click Continue, then follow the instructions on your computer screen to complete the installation.



      If you see this screen, click Options.



      Note: If you're using OS X 10.6 or later, you will need to use the buttons on the printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on your computer screen during software installation; they will explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.

    After you complete the Wi-Fi setup, remember to enable your firewall. If these troubleshooting instructions did not solve the problem, please contact Epson support.
