Solving Wireless Printing Problems

■

Make sure the printer and print server are connected, both are plugged in, and the 
printer is turned on.

■

If you’re running Windows, make sure you set up your network port correctly. 
See the instructions beginning on page 25.

■

Make sure your wireless link has adequate signal strength—at least 50 percent. If 
the signal is weak, try moving the print server and printer to a different location, 
away from large metal objects and other devices that interfere with radio signals, 
such as cordless phones and microwave ovens. 

■

Make sure you’re connecting to the correct print server. Check the MAC address 
printed on the back of the print server against the MAC address that appears in 
the WP-Admin Wireless Server Search window.

■

Check the printer’s lights to see if there is a problem with the printer. See Printer 
Basics for details.

■

Make sure the printer and print server are connected, both are plugged in, and the 
printer is turned on.

■

Make sure you’re using the latest version of the AirPort software. Check for 
upgrades on the Apple web site at www.apple.com.

■

For OS X, make sure AppleTalk is active in your Network Preferences.

■

If you have recently upgraded your Mac OS, try reinstalling the upgrade.

■

If you are using AirPort in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode, change the 
channel to 3 in the Create Network section of the AirPort Admin Utility. Then 
create a network name and restart the print server. Launch WP-Admin and try 
reconfiguring the print server. 

If this problem happens frequently, EPSON recommends that you use the print 
server with an access point or AirPort Base Station. With AirPort, your print 
server works more reliably in infrastructure mode.
