USB cord for wireless printer?
I have a new wireless Epson Workforce 645 printer, copier, fax, scanner and for some reason it says I need a usb cord to use the scanner. I don't this seeing as how it is wireless. Anybody got the answer or am I just missing something?
I did choose the wireless option in the set up process and the copier works fine.

What it's saying is that the printer is not capable of scanning to a computer wirelessly, but requires a USB connection. The scanner will work for copying since it's only scanning to itself to create a copy within itself, but if you wanted to scan a document/picture to save/send to the computer, then it requires a physical USB cable connection as it cannot send it to your computer wirelessly, it can only receive data to print wirelessly from your computer. It isn't saying that your scanner won't work for making copies, just not for sending the scan to the computer.

According to the manual at http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDeta...
(open the "Start Here" document) during the setup process there is an option to either select a USB connection or a wireless connection. Make sure you you select the correct one.
You may also speak with a support specialist by calling:
• U.S.: (562) 276-4382, 6 AM to 8 PM, Pacific Time, Monday
through Friday, and 7 AM to 4 PM Saturday
• Canada: (905) 709-3839, 6 AM to 8 PM, Pacific Time,
Monday through Friday
You are probably not missing anything - manuals are often written by people who do not speak English and who couldn't explain to you how to blow your nose. Even I have had to call "support specialists" on a number of occasions because some genius forgot three or four steps in the setup instructions.

definite, on the very initiate with a view to configure the instantaneous printer to instruct it the thank you to get on your instantaneous, you are able to desire to connect it to a working laptop or computer via way of a USB cable. After the configuration, you would be recommended to eliminate the cable, then you won't want it returned until you adjust your wifi password or want to alter any placing that demands it.
