■Make sure you have selected the correct network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier).

■InWindowsXP,checkyourWirelessNetworkConnectionPropertiesand make sure your settings are correct.

■If you’re using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption, you need to temporarily disable it on your computer. This allows you to connect to and configure the print server. Follow the instructions in your wireless adapter’s documentation.

Be sure to write down the WEP key used on your network. After you configure the print server, you can enable WEP on your computer again.

Note:

If your access point only allows WEP-enabled clients to connect to it, you may have to set your computer’s wireless mode to 802.11b Ad Hoc before you configure the print server.

■If you’re going to use the printer in ad hoc mode, note the IP address of your computer. (For instructions on viewing a computer’s IP address, see page 56.)

■If you’re using infrastructure mode, make sure there is a link with good signal strength (at least 50 percent) between the computer and the access point. See your wireless adapter’s documentation for details.

Installing the C84WN Software

Your printer software CD-ROM includes the following software:

■EPSON Stylus C84WN printer driver

You must install the printer driver on every computer that uses the EPSON Stylus C84WN printer. This software controls print settings and provides several utilities for printer maintenance. For instructions on using your printer driver, see the Printer Basics book.

■EpsonNet Wireless Print Server Utilities

These utilities include WP-Admin, which lets you configure the print server for most network protocols, and XAdmin32, which lets you configure the print server for a Novell® NetWare network or perform more advanced configuration for other protocols. You only need to install the utilities on one computer on your wireless network.
