Tip: For best results, use
a USB connection when
you update the firmware
on your printer.

Connecting to Your System

You can use USB and/or Ethernet network connections.
For USB connection, make sure your system has the appropriate port and
you have a standard, shielded cable 10 feet (6 m) long or less.
To connect to a network hub, you need a standard RJ-45 CAT-6 network
cable. To connect directly to your computer's network interface, you need
an RJ-45 CAT-6 crossover cable.
1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2. Plug the interface cable into the appropriate port on the printer.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate connector on your
computer, or network switch or hub.

Updating Your Printer Firmware

To keep your printer features and functionality up to date, you should check
for a newer version of firmware on the Epson support site and update your
printer, if necessary.
