Complete Guide by Techdrive Support on Switching Your Epson Printer from Wireless to Wired

 Printers have developed to offer a range of communication options, including wired & wireless setups, in the current digital era. Even while wireless printing is flexible & easy, there are some situations when a wired connection could be more dependable & safe. Switching your EPSON printer from wireless to wired is a simple procedure, no matter whether you're having trouble connecting wirelessly or you just like the security of a wired connection. To make sure your transfer is easy & effortless, Techdrive Support focuses on offering complete printer support & assistance for any type of printers.

Why Consider your Wired vs. Wireless Switch?

It's essential to understand the reasons behind wanting to convert your EPSON printer from a wireless to a wired connection before moving further with the instructions. Although their simplicity, wireless connections can be sensitive to network blocking, interference from other devices, & problems with signal quality. A wired connection provides steady speed & trustworthy, which makes it perfect for settings where continuous printing is important.  A connected connection can offer greater security, reducing the possibility of illegal access to your printer.

Get Ready for the Change

You must have the following things to start the process of connecting your EPSON printer to a wired network:

·         Ethernet Cable: To link your printer and router, use a regular Ethernet cable.

·         Router: Check that there are open Ethernet ports for your router.

·         Printer Software & Drivers: Verify that your computer is running the most current versions of each of these programs. These can be found for download on the EPSON website.

·       Turn Off the Printer: To make sure that you are having an easy conversion, start by shutting down your EPSON printer.

 

·       Connect the Ethernet cable by putting one end into the printer's Ethernet port on its back & the other end into a router Ethernet port that is open.

·      For access to printer settings, open the EPSON printer software on your PC. Usually, you can find this by searching for your printer model or by choosing EPSON via the Start menu.

 

·       Change Network Settings: Go to the network settings in the printer system. Both wired & wireless connectivity options are available to you here. Proceed with the wired (Ethernet) connection option.

 

·      Verify Settings: Verify your settings after choosing the wired connection. To make it possible for the changes to take effect, the printer software can request you to restart it.

 

·      Update Printer Driver: ensure that your printer driver supports the wired connection by installing it if needed. The most current driver for your printer model can be obtained & installed on the EPSON website.

 

·     Confirm the Connection: Print a test page to ensure that your printer is connected to the computer via the wired connection once the settings have been updated. This confirms that everything is set up properly & that the Ethernet wire connects your printer to your computer.

 

Troubleshooting Usual Bugs

 

During the process of transition, problems can occur even if you have made all the necessary preparations. Below are some typical issues & how to resolve them:

 

·         Printer Not Detected: Ensure that the Ethernet connection is securely linked to the router & printer if your printer is not being detected by the computer.  Check that the Ethernet port on the router is working correctly.

 

·         Issues with the printer driver: Download & install the most latest version from the EPSON website if the printer driver is outdated or compatible for you.
