This guide applies to most Epson models, including EcoTank, WorkForce, Expression, and XP series printers, and supports both Windows and macOS users.

📦 Step 1: Prepare for WiFi Setup


Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
  • Epson printer powered on
  • WiFi network name (SSID) and password
  • A working internet connection
  • Your computer or mobile device connected to the same network
Make sure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal, as many Epson printers do not support 5GHz WiFi.

📲 Step 2: Choose Your WiFi Setup Method


You can connect your Epson printer to WiFi in two common ways:


Option 1: Using the Printer’s Control Panel (Most Common)


Ideal for printers with a screen or touchscreen display.

Option 2: Using Epson Software on Your Computer


Recommended for models without a display or for users who prefer setup through a PC or Mac.

🖨️ Option 1: Connect via Printer Control Panel


Follow these steps if your Epson printer has a display or control panel:

Step-by-Step:


  1. Turn on your Epson printer.
  2. Press the Home button (if available).
  3. Navigate to Wi-Fi Setup or Network Settings.
  4. Choose Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.
  5. Your printer will search for available wireless networks.
  6. Select your WiFi network name (SSID) from the list.
  7. Enter your WiFi password using the on-screen keyboard.
  8. Wait for the printer to connect and display a confirmation message.
Once connected, you can print a network status sheet to verify the connection. The printer should now be discoverable on your network.

💻 Option 2: Connect Using Epson Software (No Display Panel)


If your printer doesn’t have a screen, use the Epson Printer Installer or Epson Connect Printer Setup Utility on your computer.

Step-by-Step:


  1. Download the Epson Connect Printer Setup Utility from the official Epson Support site:
  2. https://www.epson.com/Support
  3. Open the utility and select your printer model.
  4. Choose Wireless connection when prompted.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to detect your network.
  6. Enter your WiFi credentials if required.
  7. Complete the installation and registration process.
This method uses a USB connection temporarily to send WiFi credentials to your printer, then switches to wireless printing once setup is complete.


🔄 Step 3: Install Printer Drivers and Software


Even if your printer is connected to WiFi, you still need to install the necessary drivers on your device to enable full functionality.

For Windows or macOS:

  1. Visit https://www.epson.com/Support
  2. Enter your printer model and select your operating system.
  3. Download and install the Recommended Drivers and Utilities Combo Package.
  4. Follow the prompts to complete installation.
Your printer should now appear as a wireless device on your computer’s print menu.

For mobile users, Epson offers two helpful apps:


Epson Smart Panel App (iOS/Android)

Epson iPrint App


  • Supports printing documents, photos, and web pages from your phone
  • Can scan directly to your mobile device
  • Works with cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive
Both apps can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store.


🛠️ Troubleshooting WiFi Connection Issues


If your printer isn’t connecting to WiFi, try the following:
  • Restart your router and printer
  • Ensure your WiFi network isn’t hidden
  • Make sure your device and printer are on the same network
  • Check that your router is using 2.4GHz (not 5GHz only)
  • Temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus software
  • Move the printer closer to the router during setup
If problems persist, reset the printer’s network settings and try again.


🔄 How to Reconnect After Changing Your WiFi


If you've changed your router or WiFi password:
  1. Go to Wi-Fi Setup > Restore Network Settings on the printer.
  2. Repeat the setup process to connect to your new network.
  3. Update the printer connection in your Epson software if necessary.
