6 Connect the fax line To fax, connect a phone cord to a telephone wall jack and to the LINE port on the back of your product. To connect a telephone or answering machine, use the EXT. port on your product. See the Quick Guide for more details. Note: If you're connecting to a DSL phone line, you must use a DSL filter or you won't be able to fax. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter. 7 Install software Note: If your computer does not have a CD/DVD drive, you can download the software from the Epson website (see "Epson technical support"). Caution: Be sure to close your other programs, including any screen savers and virus protection software, before beginning this software installation. 1 Make sure the printer is NOT CONNECTED to your computer.

Connection options Wireless connection You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend using a temporary USB connection to simplify wireless setup. After the printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted to remove the cable. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6.x or 10.7, or you don't have a USB cable, you will need to use the control panel 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. Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network password: • Network name • Network password If you don't have this information, contact the person who set up your network. Direct USB connection Make sure you have a USB cable (not included). Wired network connection Make sure you have an Ethernet® network cable (not included). You must install the software on every computer from which you want to print. Any problems?
