• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings, move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again. • If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi direct password on your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing DIRECT-xxxxxxxx connection settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions. • If you connected your product to a Windows computer using Wi-Fi Direct and it automatically selected Access Point Mode, you may have trouble accessing a low-priority Internet connection. Check the network connection or adapter settings in the Windows Control Panel and set the Internet metric setting to 100 for your version of the Internet Protocol.

Verify the connection using your product control panel. • Check if your network name (SSID) contains non-ASCII characters. Your product cannot display nonASCII characters. • Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine the cause of the problem. • Make sure your product is not connected to a guest network. • If necessary, reinstall your product software and try running EpsonNet Setup again: 1. Reset your product's network settings to their factory defaults. 373
