Using WPS to Connect to a Network
If you have a WPS-enabled wireless router, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect your
scanner to the network (ES-500W/ES-500WR). Make sure you have installed your scanner software as
described on your scanner
Start Here sheet.
Note: For best results, re-install your scanner software and follow the on-screen instructions to connect
to a network.
1. Open the scanner's input tray.
2. Enable WPS on your router by pressing and holding the WPS button on your wireless router until the
security light flashes or by enabling the WPS setting in your router firmware.
The router enters WPS discovery mode for 2 minutes.
Note: If you cannot locate the WPS button, or there are no buttons on the router or access point, see
the documentation provided with your router for details.
3. Press and hold the Wi-Fi connect button on the scanner for at least 3 seconds, then release it
when the Wi-Fi light flashes blue.
Note: If you do not complete this step within 2 minutes, repeat steps 1 through 3.
The Wi-Fi and AP mode lights flash alternately while establishing the connection. When the
Wi-Fi light on the scanner stays on, the scanner is connected to the network.
Note: If the ! error light turns on, the connection failed. Press the stop button to clear the error,
restart the scanner and router, and repeat these steps.
4. Select the link below to set up network scanner. You must set up network scanning to connect your
computer and wireless scanner.
