Introduction

About Your Printer

Your printer has a built-in Ethernet interface and can connect anywhere on your network using 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. The built-in Ethernet interface, which is called the network interface in this manual, automatically selects the correct standard when it connects to a network. In addition, it supports and automatically selects the IEEE 802.2, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP network protocols.

Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and automatically detects protocols on your network, you can print from Microsoft^® Windows^®, Apple^® Macintosh^®, UNIX^®, and IBM^® OS/2 applications.

Use EpsonNet EasyInstall to easily configure the network interface for use on the TCP/IP network. If you are using a Windows operating system, EpsonNet EasyInstall installs the printer driver on your computer. You can use the printer on the TCP/IP network at once.

If you want to configure the network interface for protocols such as TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBEUI, AppleTalk^®, IPP, and SNMP, use EpsonNet Config, the configuration utility provided with your product, to quickly and easily configure the network interface to use those protocols.

Note:

The EpsonNet Config utility configures the network interface to work only with protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that you can use all of the above-mentioned protocols on your network or operating system. The protocols that the network interface can use may vary depending on the operating system and the network configuration.

Some printers do not support NetWare queue-based printing. See the manual shipped with your printer for details.
