Setting an IP address of the printer

You can set an IP address to the Internal Print Server, using EpsonNet WinAssist Easy Setup.

Installing EpsonNet WinAssist

Note:

If you add or delete protocols or services in your operating system after installing EpsonNet WinAssist, EpsonNet WinAssist may not work correctly. If this happens, uninstall EpsonNet WinAssist and then reinstall it.

Insert the software CD-ROM shipped with the printer in the CD-ROM drive.

The EPSON Installation Program starts automatically.

If the EPSON Installation Program does not start automatically, click Start and then Run. Type D:\EPSETUP.EXE and then click OK. (Substitute the appropriate letter for your CD-ROM drive if necessary.)

Double-click Install EPSON Network Utility.

Double-click Install EpsonNet WinAssist.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Setting an IP address of the printer

Note:

The computer to use for the following steps must be in the same segment as the printer.

Click Start, point to Programs and EpsonNet WinAssist, and then select EpsonNet WinAssist EasySetup.

In the EpsonNet WinAssist Easy Setup dialog box, click Next.

Read the Usage Agreement and click Next.

Select the target printer and click Next.

Note:

If the same printer model name appears multiple times in the list, you can distinguish the printers by their MAC addresses, which are found on the network status sheet.

Specify whether to use the Microsoft network sharing service, and then click Next. (If you select No, proceed to step 8.)

Check the host name (NetBIOS name) and change it if necessary. Click Next to proceed.

Select Yes and then click Next. (If you select No, proceed to step 9.)

Select Auto or Manual. If you select Auto, DHCP becomes available and assigns an IP address automatically. If you select Manual, you can enter the IP address manually. Click Next.

Note:

We recommend that you select Manual and enter the IP address. If you select Auto, every time you turn on the printer the IP address of the Internal Print Server changes so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.

To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on your computer and configured correctly. See your operating system's online help for detailed instructions.

Check your settings and click Send.

If you have set a password for the Internal Print Server, the Password dialog box appears. Enter your password (up to 20 characters) and click OK to save your settings. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Caution:

It takes two or three minutes to send new settings to the Internal Print Server. Do not turn off your printer until an on-screen message appears instructing you to do so.
