Notice for Windows XP Users
To use this product on the computer running Windows XP Service
Pack 2, follow the steps below to change the settings in Windows
Firewall.
Note:
If you register programs to Windows Firewall as exceptions, ports used
by the programs are open to incoming communication from an external
network. Each time that you allow an exception for a program to
communicate through Windows Firewall, your computer is made more
vulnerable. If you have many exceptions and open ports, your computer
can become a victim of unknown intruders or viruses. Epson takes no
responsibilities for damages caused by allowing exception in Windows
Firewall.
A. Configuring the Network Interface using
EpsonNet WinAssist
If you configure the network interface using the computer
running Windows XP Service Pack 2, follow the steps below to
register the network configuration utility (EpsonNet WinAssist)
to Windows Firewall as exceptions; otherwise you cannot
configure the network interface because it is not displayed on the
