how to disable MAC filtering

My Gateway XB8 is denying access to my Epson ET-4850. It is giving an E-6 error code saying it can not connect due to MAC address filtering. After days online with chat the problem is still not fixed. I need to disable the filtering or be able to add the device. I can not find ANY of those options on the app that they insist I use.
