## **Part 1: Understanding Your Epson WorkForce 3640**

Before you begin, it’s essential to know a little about your printer and what the setup process involves.

The **Epson WorkForce 3640** is an all-in-one inkjet printer with built-in Wi-Fi support. This means it can connect to your local Wi-Fi network without using a USB cable once it’s properly configured. Once connected, any device on the same network (PC, laptop, or mobile device) can send print jobs to it.

Wireless setup typically involves:

* Turning on the printer and powering it up
* Choosing “Wi-Fi Setup” on the printer’s control panel
* Selecting your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
* Entering your Wi-Fi password
* Confirming the connection

You can also configure the connection from a computer using Epson’s software, use **Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)** if your router supports it, or use mobile methods such as the **Epson iPrint app**. ([printertales.com][1])

## **Part 2: Preparations Before Wi-Fi Setup**

Before you start the Wi-Fi setup process, make sure you have everything you need ready:

### **1. Your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID)**

This is the name of your Wi-Fi network — it’s what appears when you look at available wireless networks on your phone or laptop.

### **2. Your Wi-Fi Password**

You need to know the password for your Wi-Fi network. This is case-sensitive and must be entered accurately on the printer’s display.

### **3. A Stable Wi-Fi Router**

Ensure your router is turned on, broadcasting Wi-Fi (preferably on the 2.4 GHz band), and the printer is within range (close enough for a reliable signal). Epson printers often have better compatibility with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi bands. ([JustAnswer][2])

## **Part 3: Step-by-Step Wi-Fi Setup Using the Printer’s Control Panel**

This is the most **common and reliable method** for connecting the Epson WorkForce 3640 to Wi-Fi.

### **Step 1: Power on Your Printer**

* Plug the printer into a power outlet.
* Turn it on and wait until the home screen appears on the display.

### **Step 2: Access the Wi-Fi Setup**

* On the printer’s screen, press the **Home** button if you aren’t already at the Home screen.
* Look for the **Wi-Fi icon** in the top corner of the screen — this is usually the entry point to the network setup. ([printertales.com][1])

### **Step 3: Enter the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard**

* Tap **Wi-Fi Setup**.
* Select **Wi-Fi Setup Wizard** from the menu.
* The printer will begin scanning for nearby wireless networks.

### **Step 4: Choose Your Wireless Network**

* From the list of detected Wi-Fi networks, choose your **SSID (Wi-Fi name)**.
* If you *don’t see your Wi-Fi name*, you may need to select “Other Networks” and manually enter it.

### **Step 5: Enter Your Wi-Fi Password**

* When prompted, use the touchscreen keypad to enter your Wi-Fi password.
* Be careful with upper/lower case letters — passwords are case-sensitive.

### **Step 6: Confirm and Connect**

* After entering the password, choose **OK** or **Proceed**.
* The printer will attempt to connect to the network.
* Once a connection is successful, you’ll see a confirmation message like “**Setup Complete**.” ([printertales.com][1])

### **Step 7: Optional — Print a Network Configuration Page**

Printing this page lets you verify:

* The connection is successful
* The printer’s IP address
* The Wi-Fi status

This is helpful when you add the printer to computers later.

## **Part 4: Alternative Setup — Using a Temporary USB Connection**

If, for some reason, the Wi-Fi setup wizard does not work through the printer’s panel (for example, if the screen is not responsive), you can use your **PC or laptop to help configure Wi-Fi**.

### **Step 1: Insert the Epson Setup CD**

If your printer came with a CD, insert it into your computer. If not, you can download the appropriate driver and setup software from Epson’s official support page. ([printertales.com][1])

### **Step 2: Install Epson Setup Software**

* Open the setup program.
* Follow the on-screen instructions.

### **Step 3: Choose Wireless Setup**

* When the software asks about how you want to connect, choose **Wireless connection**.
* Once prompted, plug a USB cable *temporarily* between your computer and printer.
* This allows the setup software to communicate and send your Wi-Fi details to the printer.

### **Step 4: Enter Wi-Fi Details**

* Choose your Wi-Fi network name.
* Enter your Wi-Fi password.

### **Step 5: Finalize and Disconnect**

* After a successful configuration, remove the USB cable.
* The printer should now be connected wirelessly.

This method is especially useful when you have difficulties entering passwords or navigating the printer’s control panel.

## **Part 5: Connecting via Epson iPrint (Mobile Devices)**

If you want to print from an **Android or iOS device**, Epson’s **iPrint app** makes it easy once your printer is on the same Wi-Fi network.

### **Step 1: Install Epson iPrint**

* Go to the **App Store (iOS)** or **Google Play Store (Android)**.
* Search for **“Epson iPrint”**.
* Install and open the app.

* The app will search for printers on your Wi-Fi network.
* Tap your **Epson WF-3640** when it appears.

### **Step 4: Printing from Mobile**

* Once selected, you can print:

* Photos
* Documents

* PDFs

This method is very useful if you print mostly from your mobile device.

## **Part 6: Connecting via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)**

If your **Wi-Fi router supports WPS**, you can avoid typing passwords. WPS lets you push a button on the router and the printer to establish a secure connection.

### **Step 1: Locate the WPS Button on Your Router**

Most modern routers have a button labeled **WPS**.

### **Step 2: Initiate WPS on Your Printer**

* On the printer, go to **Home > Wi-Fi Setup**.
* Find **Push Button Setup (WPS)** and select it.

### **Step 3: Press the WPS Button on Your Router**

* Within 2 minutes, press the **WPS button** on the router.
* The router and printer will negotiate a secure connection.
* The printer will notify you once connected.

This is one of the **quickest ways** to connect without entering long passwords manually. ([Epson][3])

## **Part 7: Wi-Fi Direct (Optional Wireless Method)**

In addition to regular wireless network connections, many Epson printers support **Wi-Fi Direct**. This lets your devices connect directly to the printer *without a Wi-Fi router*.

* Your printer becomes a direct Wi-Fi access point
* You can print from laptops and mobile devices
* No network router required

To enable Wi-Fi Direct:

1. Go into **Wi-Fi Setup**
2. Choose **Wi-Fi Direct**
3. Follow the prompts to connect your device

Keep in mind that normal internet access will not be available through the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct connection — it only facilitates printing. ([Epson Europe][4])

## **Part 8: Adding the Printer to Your Computer**

Once the printer is connected to Wi-Fi, your computers still need to know about it.

### **On Windows**

* Go to **Control Panel > Devices and Printers**
* Click **Add a Printer**
* Windows will search for network printers
* Select **Epson WF-3640**
* Follow the prompts to install drivers (if not already installed)
