- Account Control, then press Continue or Yes.
- In Mac OS X, you need to double click the icon for drive
- Choose Continue (for Mac) or Install (for Windows) and simply follow the directions on the screen
- Go with the option Select Your Connection, and Connection Options. Again, follow the provided instructions
Managing the Connection
Your computer (in which you are going to run the printing job) must have the software, so you need to install the software first.
For the first time installation, using the USB cable is recommended. It’s temporary and it will make the wireless go easier.
Once the printer has been connected to your network, you can remove the cable.
If your computer’s operating system is Mac 10.6 or even 10.7 OS X, or you can’t find any USB cable around, then access the printer’s control panel to manage the wireless setting.
Just follow the provided guide on the (computer’s) screen during the installation. You will get detailed and thorough explanation on how to manage the wireless connection.
It’s also crucial that you know the name of the network as well as the password before the installation.

Other Possible Connections
As one of the sophisticated devices manufactured by Epson, this printer offers tons of flexibilities and easy features.
In the event that you don’t want to manage Epson Workforce 545 wireless setup, you can always manage the printer in the regular and old-school way.
After all, Epson does provide different connection options for their users. You can manage a direct USB connection, but you need to have the USB cable and it isn’t included in the package.
You will have to buy a separate cable or have one on your own.
Another option is to enable wired network connection, which means that you need to have your own Ethernet (network) cable.
Again, the cable isn’t included in the package. And don’t forget to install the software within each device (computer or laptop) that you want to use for printing.
Possibility of Issues
What if you believe that you have done everything, and yet the wireless connection setup is considered a failure?
Well, there are several possible reasons for it:
- The network name is incorrect. Even the slightest difference matter
- It’s possible that you haven’t managed the firewall. Check it. You can choose Allow or Unblock so the setup can run smoothly
- Make sure that you provide the password correctly, and with the correct case too. Check whether the lowercase and the uppercase have been written correctly.
In most cases, many users are able to deal with the setup quite well because they have followed the steps carefully.
