• Press the power button to turn on the printer.

Step 3: Install the Ink Cartridges

• Open the printer's ink cartridge compartment (refer to the manual if unsure).

• Unpack the ink cartridges and insert them into their corresponding slots until they click into place.

Step 4: Load Paper into the Printer

• Open the paper tray and load a stack of plain paper (A4 or Letter size depending on your region).

• Adjust the paper guides to fit snugly against the paper.

Step 5: Connect the Printer to Your Wi-Fi Network

Option 1: Using the Printer's Display (Wi-Fi Setup)

1. Navigate to the Setup Menu on the printer’s control panel.

2. Select Network Settings or Wi-Fi Setup Wizard (depending on your model).

3. The printer will search for available Wi-Fi networks. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.

4. Enter the Wi-Fi password using the printer’s keypad or touch screen (if applicable).

5. Once connected, the printer will confirm a successful connection.

Option 2: Using the Epson Smart Panel App (Alternative)

Step 7: Install Printer Software & Drivers

• After downloading the software, open the installer file and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

• The software will help detect your printer, and once recognized, the setup process will proceed automatically.

Step 8: Test the Printer

• Once the setup is complete, you can print a test page or document to ensure that your printer is working correctly.

Step 9: Additional Configuration (Optional)

• If you wish to enable cloud printing or connect to other devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets), the Epson software will guide you through those additional steps.

Step 10: Enjoy Your Printer!

By following these steps, you should have your Epson printer fully set up and connected to your network, ready to use.
