EpsonNet Config with Web Browser is a Web-based utility designed to configure the printer for use on a network.
By typing the IP address of the network interface for the URL in your browser, you can start EpsonNet Config to allow you to configure the network interface for TCP/IP, NetWare, MS Network, AppleTalk, IPP, and SNMP.
|
Note for Windows XP/Me/98/Server 2003/2000/NT 4.0 users: |

To use EpsonNet Config with WebBrowser, Java™ Plug-in must be installed on your computer. To install Java™ Plug-in, insert the Software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Double-click the COMMON folder on the CD-ROM, and then double-click the PLUGIN folder. Finally, double-click the icon with the exe extension in the folder. Also, you can download Java™ Plug-in from the following Web site: http://www.java.com

About Web browser setting
When running EpsonNet Config with Web Browser, be sure not to use a proxy server to access the Internet.

Use the following steps to clear the Access the Internet using a proxy server check box.
|
Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, and then select Properties.
|
|
Click the Connection tab.
|
|
Clear the Access the Internet using a proxy server check box.

Configuring the Network Interface Using Web-Based EpsonNet Config
After you have assigned an IP address to the network interface using EpsonNet EasyInstall, EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh, or the arp/ping command, you can configure the network interface using Web-based EpsonNet Config.
|
Note: |
|
Note for users of printers supporting NetWare queue-based printing: |
|
If you are using the dial-up environment without running NetWare, select Disable on the NetWare screen. If Enable is selected, the extra account may be charged when you are using the dial-up router.
|
|
Follow the steps below to change the IP address using EpsonNet Config.
|
Turn on your printer.
|
|
Run EpsonNet Config using one of the following ways.
|
| |
Note: |
| |
Note for users of printers supporting NetWare queue-based printing: |
|
Click TCP/IP under Network on the Configuration menu to display the TCP/IP setting screen.
|
| |
Note: |
|
Select a method for acquiring the IP address. When you select Auto, DHCP becomes available and assigns an IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, select Manual.
|
| |
Note: |
| |
-
When Auto is selected, DHCP becomes available. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on your computer and correctly configured. See your operating system’s online help for detailed instructions.
-
If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and then enter an IP address. This is because if you select Auto, the IP address of the network interface changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
|
|
|
To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any other devices on the network.
|
| |
Note: |
| |
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the default values there.
|
|
|
If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be obtained by the DHCP server, leave it at Enable for Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA); otherwise, select Disable.
|
|
When setting an IP address using the ping command, select Enable for Set Using PING. Select Disable when setting an IP address with EpsonNet Config; this prevents any unexpected change of the IP address.
|
| |
Note: |
| |
Be sure to select Disable when not using ping; this prevents an unexpected change of the IP address by EpsonNet WebManager.
|
|
|
Select Enable for Acquire DNS Server Address Automatically if you want to acquire the DNS server address using the DHCP server.
|
If you want to enter the DNS server address manually, select Disable and then enter the IP address of the DNS server.
|
Select Enable for Acquire Host Name and Domain Name Automatically if you want to acquire the host name and the domain name using the DHCP server.
|
If you want to specify manually, enter the host name and the domain name in the text boxes.
|
Select Enable for Register Network Interface Address to DNS Server if you want to register the host name and domain name to the DNS server through the DHCP server that supports Dynamic DNS.
|
If you want to register the host name and the domain name directly to the DNS server, select Enable for Register Network Interface Address Directly to DNS Server.
|
Select Enable or Disable for Use Universal Plug and Play. Select Enable if you want to use the Universal Plug and Play function on Windows Me or future operating systems.
|
|
Change the default Universal Plug and Play device name, if desired. This device name is used for Windows that supports the Universal Plug and Play function.
|
|
Mac OS X only: Select Enable or Disable for Use Bonjour. If you select Enable, enter the Bonjour Name and the Bonjour Printer Name. If your network environment supports DHCP, you can use the printer on the network just by enabling this setting.
|
|
Click Submit and then enter the password to update the settings. See Password for more information on setting the password.
|
| |
Note: |
| |
If you have set the Administrator Name on the Administrator screen, enter the administrator name for the user name.
|
|
|
If the message “Configuration change is complete!” appears on your screen, the update is complete. Do not exit the Web browser and do not send a job to the printer until this message appears. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the printer.
