Network Guide
Chapter 1
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 the Software CD-ROM to easily configure the network interface for use on the TCP/IP network and install the printer driver. 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.
This Network Guide contains information about using the network interface on a network.
It includes how to set up the network interface, install the configuration software, and modify network settings of your printer and computers.
For information about your printer, see your User’s Guide.

Network Guide
Check if there is a Windows XP/Server 2003/2000/NT print server on your network, and then use the suggestions below.
Note:
Only the recommended printing methods are introduced here. See “Features of the Printing Methods” on page 17 for information on additional methods.
If no Windows XP/Server 2003/2000/NT print server exists
Use a printing method appropriate to your operating system:
For Windows Me/98
We recommend TCP/IP printing via EpsonNet Print. See “About EpsonNet Print” on page 130.
For Windows XP/Server 2003/2000/NT
We recommend TCP/IP printing via LPR. See “Windows XP” on page 40, “Windows
Server 2003” on page 48, “Windows 2000” on page 53, or “Windows NT 4.0” on page 57.
If a Windows XP/Server 2003/2000/NT print server exists
On the server, set the printer to connect with LPR and turn it into a shared printer. Your clients can then print to this shared printer.
