7 Choose your connection You can connect your printer to your existing wireless network or directly to your computer using a USB cable (not included). See below for details on each connection method. Note: Do not connect the printer to your computer until you're instructed to do so. 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 or don't have a USB cable, you need to use the buttons on the printer to select wireless settings. 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). 8 Install software Note: If your computer does not have a CD drive, you can download the software from the Epson website, as described under "Epson Technical Support". 1 Make sure the printer is NOT CONNECTED to your computer. Windows®: If you see a Found New Hardware screen, click Cancel and disconnect the USB cable. You can't install your software that way. 3 Windows: If you see the AutoPlay window, click Run Setup.exe. If you see the User Account Control screen, click Yes or Continue. Mac OS® X: Double-click the Epson icon. 4 Click Install (Windows) or Continue (Mac OS X) and follow the on-screen instructions.
