Wireless LAN Interface Using Epson TM Utility, you can easily connect the printer to the network from an iOS or Android devices. We also recommend connecting using a USB cable from a Windows computer, and setting up the wireless LAN using the network setup tool (EpsonNet Config). When you set up the access point at the same time, set the access point in advance and check that it operates correctly. Examine the radio wave situation in the surrounding area before use. Avoid using the same channel that is used in the neighboring shops where wireless LAN is used.
When using the printer in environments where kitchen microwaves and other devices that may interfere radio waves are installed, observe the following points. Keep the printer away from the devices, such as kitchen microwaves, that may cause radio wave interference. Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave interference. Place shields between the printer and the devices that may cause radio wave interference. Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference. In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the devices may cause radio wave interference.
In the infrastructure mode, W53 and W56 channels are not available to connect to a stealth SSID access point. For detailed information about EpsonNet Config, see the EpsonNet Config manual (operation guide) or the EpsonNet Config online help. When changing the wireless LAN settings in an environment the printer is already connected via the wireless LAN interface, you can set the printer with EpsonNet Config (web version). For detailed information about EpsonNet Config (web version), see "EpsonNet Config (Web Ver- sion)" on page 68 . You can check the current wireless LAN settings by printing the dynamic status sheet.
To print the dynamic status sheet, see "Dynamic Status Sheet Print Mode" on page 66 . To initialize the wireless LAN setting, see "Wireless module setup mode" on page 61 . This product equips the power-saving mode that saves the power consumption while con- necting via wireless LAN. If your access point supports the power-saving function and the function is turned on, you can save the power consumption with turning on the power-saving mode of this product. To make the power saving-mode settings of this product, use the EpsonNet Config (Web ver- sion). For more details, see "EpsonNet Config (Web Version)" on page 68 .
Note that the wireless LAN connection with the access point may be unstable depending on the environment. In that case, turning off this function may improve the connection. 42
