Configuring printer port
Using EpsonNet Print (for Windows)
Using EpsonNet Print, you can find a device located in the same segment or beyond a router. EpsonNet Print automatically uses the printer’s IP address if it is changed with the server’s or router’s DHCP function. EpsonNet Print is installed along with other software for network communication.
Follow the steps below to add a port using the Add Printer Wizard.
Note:|
You need to install Epson Network Utilities in advance. Insert the software disc into your computer’s CD-ROM/DVD drive, and then select and install Epson Network Utilities.
If you assign a printer port for your printer using EpsonNet Print in a DHCP environment, you can set the IP address setting to dynamically assign the address because the computer can identify the printer.
Make sure that the computer is connected to the network and the TCP/IP is correctly set.
A valid IP address must be assigned to the network interface.
EpsonNet Print does not run under an IPv6 environment.
