Step 3: Select Your Operating System

After locating your printer, use the drop-down option to choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.). Your system is automatically detected by EPSON, but if necessary, you can choose it manually. Selecting the appropriate operating system is crucial to prevent incompatibilities.

Once the installation is complete, use a USB cable or Wi-Fi to connect your computer to your EPSON printer. The printer ought to be detected by your system automatically. Use the driver software's Wi-Fi setup process or the printer's on-screen instructions to establish a Wi-Fi connection.
