Introduction

The EPL-N2000 provides the network administrator with both greater freedom and greater flexibility in allocating network resources. Because the EPL-N2000 is equipped with an Ethernet interface card that connects directly to the network’s physical layer, users can configure and control print jobs directly from their workstations rather than going through a print server. The network administrator can monitor printer status and change printer settings from the EPSON Status Monitor, which operates on a Microsoft

Because the EPL-N2000 supports multiple protocols and automatically detects the protocols on your network, you can easily connect it to your existing network . The table below lists the different ways in which the client wo rkstation can be connected to the printer.

Terms and Concepts

A node address is a set of numbers that gives a unique identity to any piece of equipment connected to a network.

The file server stores data required for the EPL-N2000 to operate as a print server.

A print queue is an area where a print job is stored as a file before the print server sends the jo b to the assig ned printer.

A print server moves jobs from print queues to printers.

A remote printer is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the network, but un der the control of a NetWare print server. Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network workstation run ning NetWare’s RPRINTER, but the EP L-N2000 can also function as a remote printer .

A status sheet prints each tim e the Status Sheet button on the Ethernet interface card is pushed. If the EPL-N2000 is configured as a print server, the status sheet lists the co nfigurations of the printer on each network.

This chapter explains how to connect the Ethernet interf ace card to the network, as well as how to perform such basic tasks as reading the card’s lights, using the card to print a status sheet, and resetting the card.

Connecting the Ethernet Interface Card to the Network

Your EPL-N2000 comes with a preinstalled Ethernet interface card that you can connect to your network using either a 10BASE-T or 10BASE2 networ k cable. (Your printer in cludes a coaxial Y-connector for a 10BASE2 connection.)

Follow these steps to connect the card to your net work:

1. Make sure the Interface setting in the SelecType Setup Menu

is set to Auto, then turn off the printer.

Note:

This setting ensures that the card automatically swit ches m ode to match the network interface used. See Chapter 3 in the User’s Guide for information on SelecType settings.

1-2 Getting Started

2. Locate the Ethernet card plate on th e back of the printer.

4. Turn on the printer while pressing the status sheet button for about three seconds. The Ethernet interface card initializes.

5. Press the status sheet but ton a second time after the card completes initialization. A status sheet prints .

Getting Started 1-3

The status sheet provides information you need to configure your printer for the network, such as the IP ad dress for the Ethernet interface card, and the printer’s serial number and current configuration.

If the printer fails to print a status sheet, make sure that t he printer is online and that no jobs are processing, then wait one minute before pressing the status sheet button again. If it still does not print a status sheet, turn the printer off. Wait at least five seconds before turning it on, then press the status sheet button again.

Note:

If your printer has an EPSONScript Level 2 module installed, allow a minute for the printer to initialize before trying to configure it on the network. The EPL-N2000 may not configure properly if PostScript initialization has not been completed.
