About passwords

The password is required to configure an Internal Print Server. There is no default password. When you click OK in the setting dialog box or click the Return to default button, the Password dialog box appears.

To set the password or when you want to change the current password, click Change.

After clicking Change, the following dialog box appears. Type a password (up to 20 characters) and click OK. Passwords are case sensitive.

Note:
  • The password is used for EpsonNet WinAssist, MacAssist, and WebAssist.
  • Since a new password becomes effective after the data is sent to the Internal Print Server, use the old password immediately after changing the password.
  • If you forget your password, initialize the printer. To do this, turn on the printer while pressing the Continue (Reset) button on the printer's control panel. Be aware that all the printer and network settings you have made will be cleared when you initialize.
