About EpsonNet SetupManager

EpsonNet SetupManager is a utility that provides a simple printer installation and configuration tool for network administrators, and an easy network printer installation process for clients. EpsonNet SetupManager installs the printer driver for printers newly connected to the network, and helps network administrators and clients efficiently install and configure new network printers on Windows operating systems running TCP/IP.

EpsonNet SetupManager provides the following functions.

  • Installs the printer driver easily.

  • Installs the port monitor (EpsonNet Print) automatically.

  • Creates a printer port.

  • Creates a shortcut (an icon that executes the script file on the server) or a package (which contains all files needed for the installation) for automatic printer driver installation.

  • Outputs the result of the printer driver installation using the script file.

  • Edits more than one script file at a time.

  • Registers unconnected printers in a script file.

  • Installs utilities such as EPSON Status Monitor 3 and EPSON Scan that support automatic installation.
