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 applications.
Use the Software CD-ROM that came with the printer to easily configure the network interface for use on the TCP/IP network and install the printer driver.
If you want to configure the network interface for protocols such as TCP/IP, AppleTalk®, 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.
®
Windows® and Mac OS® X

About This Guide

This Network Guide contains information about using the printer 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.
Note:
To read the online guide, you must have Adobe
on your computer.
This guide is written for network administrators, and many of the steps included here require
detailed network knowledge and administrator rights.
®

Features of the Network Interface

Connects your Epson printer using a built-in Ethernet interface, which is called the
network interface in this manual, to the network.
Supports multiple protocols.
Supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
Supports DHCP.
Supports Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) that assigns an IP address
automatically to the network interface even if there is no DHCP server on the network.
Supports the Dynamic DNS function.
Introduction 9
Supports SNMP and MIB.
Supports SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).
Supports Bonjour on Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Supports Rendezvous on Mac OS X 10.3.9.

Network Interface Operation

Status Light

The indicator lights provide you with important information on the operations of the network interface.
Status light Data light Network Status
Green Green Ready (10 M link)
Green Green (Flashing) Receiving packets (10 M link)
Orange Green Ready (100 M link)
Orange Green (Flashing) Receiving packets (100 M link)
Status light
Data light
The status light on the left side indicates whether the network interface is connected to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. The light is orange when the connection is 100Base-TX, green when the connection is 10Base-T.
The data light on the right side flashes when the host interface receives data.
If the light on the left side is solid green and the light on the right side is off, the connection is disconnected.

Network Connector

RJ-45 connector: This connector is used to connect an Ethernet cable to a network. You can use this cable for both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
Introduction 10
Caution:
You must use a category-5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network interface to a
c
network.

About the Software

The Software CD-ROM provided with your printer includes the following network software.
Note:
The software provided varies depending on your printer model.
EpsonNet Config is a Windows-based configuration utility for administrators that allows
you to configure the network interface for various protocols such as TCP/IP and SNMP. See “EpsonNet Config for Windows” on page 43.
EpsonNet Config for Macintosh is a Macintosh-based configuration utility for
administrators that allows you to configure the network interface for TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and IPP. See “EpsonNet Config for Macintosh” on page 44.
EpsonNet Print is a utility that enables TCP/IP printing for Windows. (Windows
Vista/XP/2000/Server 2003 also support OS standard LPR printing.) See “EpsonNet Print” on page 45.

Terms and Concepts

Configuration -- a prepared set of conditions for proper operation of a device. Configuring the network interface is to prepare it to work with protocols available on a network.
DHCP -- a dynamic host configuration protocol. It is a protocol that assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
ftp -- a TCP/IP application protocol for file transfer
lpd -- a TCP/IP remote printing protocol application
Print queue -- a location where a print job is stored as a file, until the network interface sends the job to the assigned printer
Protocol -- a rule that controls how data or information is exchanged through a network. Computers and software cannot communicate with each other using different protocols.
TCP/IP -- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a layer of protocols that provides communication between nodes on a network

How To

Overview

This section describes the general procedure on how to set up the network interface for use on a network.
1. Check the network interface operation.
Check the functions and operations of the network interface, such as status lights and RJ-45 connector. See “Network Interface Operation” on page 10 for details.
2. Select a printing method.
Select a printing method appropriate for your network environment and operating system. If you are not sure, see “Selecting a Printing Method for Windows” on page 13 for details.
3. Install the necessary components on your computer.
Make sure the necessary components (such as TCP/IP) are installed on the computer, and network settings (such as IP address, subnet mask, etc.) of the computer is set. See “About Installing Components on Your Computer” on page 14 for details.
4. Connect the network interface to the network.
Connect the network interface to the network. See “Connecting the Network Interface to the Network” on page 21 for details.
5. Configure the network interface and install the printer driver on all the computers that
will use the printer.
See “Configuring the Network Interface for Windows” on page 22 or “Configuring the Network Interface for Macintosh” on page 25 for details.
6. If necessary, configure the network settings of the network interface using EpsonNet
Config.
Configure the network interface for TCP/IP, MS Network, etc. using EpsonNet Config. See “About EpsonNet Config” on page 43.
How To 12

Selecting a Printing Method for Windows

Check if there is a Windows Vista/XP/Server 2003/2000 print server on your network, and then use the suggestions below.
If a print server exists, set the printer to connect with LPR on the server and turn it into a shared printer. Your clients can then print to this shared printer.
If no Windows print server exists, we recommend TCP/IP printing via LPR. This is the method to use when you connect the printer to your network through the printer’s Ethernet port. See “Windows Vista” on page 14, “Windows XP” on page 16, “Windows Server 2003” on page 17, or “Windows 2000” on page 19.

Installing Components on Your Computer

About Installing Components on Your Computer

Before configuring the network interface and printing from the computer, you need to install the necessary components (such as TCP/IP) and assign an IP address and subnet mask for your computer, depending on the printing method you want to use. See the section in this chapter appropriate for your operating system.
Note:
The Windows operating system CD-ROM may be required during the installation.
When using TCP/IP for printing, you need to set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the
default gateway of the computer. These may be set automatically if your network uses DHCP.
