Configuring for AppleTalk Using EpsonNet WinAssist

Follow the steps to configure the Internal Print Server using EpsonNet WinAssist from Windows environment.

Note:

To configure for AppleTalk with EpsonNet WinAssist, the Internal Print Server must have a valid IP address or you must have logged in to the NetWare server or NDS context as an ADMIN.

Select the printer you want to configure from the list, then click Configuration or double-click the printer.

Note:

If you have connected more than one printer with the same type of print server to the network, you can distinguish between the printers by the MAC address on a status sheet.

If the IP address is set to the default, the printer model may not appear.

You can search printers in other segments by changing the Search Options in the Tool menu. See Optional settings for more information.
