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. (On some models, 1000Base-T is also supported.) 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® and Apple® Macintosh® 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 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.

, IPP, and SNMP, use EpsonNet Config, the configuration utility provided with your

About This Guide

How To 36

EPSON Network Guide

2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the network interface, and the other end to the network.

Caution:

❏ You must use a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network interface

to prevent malfunction.

❏ Do not connect or disconnect the network cable when the printer is on.

❏ Do not connect the network interface and the computer directly. Be sure to use a HUB to

connect the network interface to the network.

Note:

You can use both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. (On some models, 1000Base-T is also supported.) When you print a lot of data, we recommend you use a higher-speed with light network traffic.

3. Turn on your printer. After the status lights go off, print a network status sheet.

Caution:

After turning off the printer, wait until the status lights go off before turning it back on; otherwise the network interface may not work correctly.

Note for Mac OS X 10.2.4 or later:

Since the printer supports Bonjour/Rendezvous and is on by default, you can use the printer on a network just by connecting it to the network. If you want to disable the Bonjour/Rendezvous setting, use the printer’s control panel. See “Setting an IP Address on the Printer’s Control Panel” on page 126 or “Setting an IP Address on the Printer’s Control Panel (Large Format Inkjet Pr in ter s) ” o n p age 129 for details.

Settings for NetWare Users

Overview

If you are using a printer that supports NetWare queue-based printing, see “Configuring the Network Interface” on page 74 for detailed information.

Note:

To find out whether your printer supports NetWare queue-based printing, see the User’s Guide.

Configuring the Network Interface

This section explains how to configure the network interface for NetWare. First, you need to set up the printer in a NetWare environment, and then configure the network interface using EpsonNet Config.

Introduction to NetWare settings

Supported systems

Server environment

❏ NetWare 3.1/3.11/3.12/3.2 (Bindery)

❏ NetWare 4.1/4.11/4.2 (NDS, Bindery emulation)

❏ IntranetWare (NDS, Bindery emulation)

❏ NetWare 5.0/5.1 (NDS, NDPS)

❏ NetWare 6.0 (NDS, NDPS)

Client environment

The client environment must be supported by NetWare. The clients are able to use the printer driver mounted on the network interface.

The following Novell Client is supported.

❏ For Windows 98:

Novell Client 3.4 or later for Windows 98/95

How To 74

EPSON Network Guide

❏ For Windows 2000/NT 4.0:

Novell Client 4.8 or later for Windows 2000/NT 4.0

❏ For Windows XP:

Novell Client 4.9 or later for Windows XP

About modes

You can choose either the Print Server, Remote Printer, or Standby mode. We recommend that you use the Print Server mode unless the number of users exceeds the limit.

Features of these modes are described below.

Print Server mode (NDS/Bindery Print Server):

❏ High-speed printing with direct printing

❏ Uses the NetWare user account

❏ Can connect up to 8 file servers simultaneously

❏ Can register up to 32 print queues

Remote Printer mode:

❏ A NetWare user account is not required.

❏ A print server is needed to control the remote printer.

❏ Can attach up to 16 printers for NetWare 3.x, and up to 255 for NetWare 4.x or later.

Note:

When you turn on the printer, the user account is temporarily accessed in the Remote Printer mode. If there is no user account available, turn on the printer before connecting the client to the network.

Standby mode (factory default mode):

The Standby mode is the default mode. This mode disables all NetWare related functions. Use the Standby mode when you are not using the network interface in a NetWare environment.

Instructions for using NetWare

Printing a text file

When you print a text file using the NPRINT command of NetWare or DOS, redirection, misconversion or a gap in characters may occur depending on the client environment.

How To 75

EPSON Network Guide

IPX routing protocol “NLSP”

It is possible to set the IPX routing protocol “NLSP” from NetWare 4.x or later; however, the network interface does not support NLSP. RIP/SAP controls the communication.

You can select the routing protocol from a) NLSP with RIP/SAP Compatibility, or b) RIP/SAP Only. If you remove the bind of RIP or SAP when NLSP with RIP/SAP Compatibility is specified, the network interface then cannot communicate with the file server and NDS. (See “Protocols” and “Bindings” in NetWare’s INETCFG utility.)

Bindery and NDS

❏ You can check the bindery context path from the server console by using the SET BINDERY

CONTEXT command.

❏ If the bindery context path has not been set, or if you want to use the printing environment of

another context from a non-NDS client, you need to specify the context for the bindery context. Use the SET BINDERY CONTEXT command to set the context in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

❏ You cannot use the bindery print server mode with EpsonNet Config if you are running Novell

Client for Windows 95/98 version 3.00 or Novell Client for Windows NT version 4.50. To configure the network interface for bindery mode, use Novell IntranetWare Client or EpsonNet Config with Web Browser.

See your NetWare documentation for more information.

Time required to recognize the network interface

It takes up to two minutes for the NetWare server to recognize the network interface, after the printer is turned on. During this start-up time, the status sheet does not show the correct information.

Frame type

The same frame type should be used for the NetWare server and IPX router on the same network. If more than one frame type is used on the same network, bind all the frame types to the NetWare servers and IPX routers.

For NetWare 5.x

The IPX protocol must be installed (bound) on the NetWare 5.x server.

How To 76

EPSON Network Guide

About modes

If the mode you have logged in is different from the mode you set for the network interface, a message appears when you try to configure the network interface for NetWare. If you do not want to change the current settings, click Cancel and log in again using the same mode set for the network interface.

Instructions for using a dial-up network

This section explains about using a dial-up network.

Note:

The primary server described in this manual indicates a primary time server which offers time to the workstations on the network.

Using a dial-up network in each mode

Print Server mode

You must use a dedicated dial-up line. Since polling is performed on the file server in the print server mode, no vicarious response by the router is possible. Therefore, no dial-up connection is possible in this case.

Remote Printer mode

In Remote Printer mode, use of a router with a vicarious response function allows the primary server to be installed at the dial-up destination. However, an extra account might be generated when the primary server is down. To avoid that, it is recommend to use connections via a dedicated dial-up line.

Follow the instructions for using a dial-up line.

How To 87

When there is a primary server at the dial-up destination

❏ When the power is turned on

A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a primary server. There is no problem since this dial-up only occurs at startup.

❏ When the network interface is not correctly set

A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a primary server. This dial-up is repeated at intervals of approximately 5 minutes. Make the network interface settings correctly to avoid this problem.

❏ During normal operation (standby)

An SPX Watchdog packet is sent according to the NetWare protocol convention. Use a router with a vicarious response function to avoid a dial-up.

❏ During normal operation (printing)

A dial-up is generated while the printing data is being transferred. This is not a problem because it is a dial-up specific to the dial-up network.

❏ When the primary server is down during operation

A dial-up is generated because a connection to the primary server is attempted periodically. Since this is attributable to the automatic re-connection function, turn off the printer once.

❏ When the file server on the local network is down

When there is no file server on the local network, NetWare cannot be used on the local network. In this case, the NetWare protocol for the network interface is also not available. No dial-up is generated under this condition. When the file server on the local network is restored, the network interface is also automatically restored.

How To 88

For local networks with no file server:

Depending on the router settings, the NetWare protocol can be used without a file server on a local network. This setup follows the same pattern as that described above.

When there is a primary server in the local network

Even if a primary server is installed on the local network, an unnecessary dial-up may be generated depending on the configuration.

The following problems are common to both Print Server mode and Remote Printer mode.

❏ When the power is turned on

❏ When the network interface is not correctly set

Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is generate d. Ho we ve r, if th e fi le ser ve r/ print server of the remote network is erroneously set as the primary server, an unnecessary dial-up might be generated. Correct the settings to avoid this problem.

❏ During normal operation (standby/printing)

Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is generated.

❏ When the primary server is down during operation

How To 89

EPSON Network Guide

Connection to the primary server is periodically attempted, but no dial-up is generated. However, if the router is set to pass SAP packets (Find Nearest Server), an unnecessary dial-up might be generated. To avoid this, turn off the printer once, or do not allow the router to pass SAP packets (Find Nearest Server).

Configuring the Network Interface Using Web-Based EpsonNet Config

After you have assigned an IP address to the network interface using EpsonNet EasyInstall, EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh, or the arp/ping command, you can configure the network interface using Web-based EpsonNet Config.

Note:

❏ A Web browser must be installed on your computer.

❏ TCP/IP must be correctly set for the computer and the network interface.

❏ Do not run both EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh and Web-based EpsonNet Config at

the same time.

❏ Your browser may restrict some characters you can use. For details, see your browser or operating

system documentation.

Note for users of printers supporting NetWare queue-based printing:

If you are using the dial-up environment without running NetWare, select Disable on the NetWare screen. If Enable is selected, the extra account may be charged when you are using the dial-up router.

Follow the steps below to change the IP address using EpsonNet Config.

1. Turn on your printer.

Network Software 96

EPSON Network Guide

2. Run EpsonNet Config using one of the following ways.

❏ Run EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh. Select the printer you want to configure

from the list and then click Launch Browser.

❏ Open your browser, and then type in the IP address of the network interface directly. Do not

run EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh.

http://IP address of network interface/

Example: http://192.168.100.201/

Note:

To check the IP address of the network interface, use EpsonNet Config. See “About EpsonNet Config” on page 91 for Windows users, or see “About EpsonNet Config” on page 93 for Macintosh users for details.

Note for users of printers supporting NetWare queue-based printing:

❏ From any NetWare client, log in to the target NetWare server or NDS context with supervisor

privileges.

❏ You cannot create a print server, print queue, or printer with Web-based EpsonNet Config. You

must create these objects before using Web-based EpsonNet Config.

3. Click TCP/IP under Network on the Configuration menu to display the TCP/IP setting screen.

Note:

If you want to configure a protocol other than TCP/IP, configure the desired settings on Configuration - Network screen.

Network Software 97

EPSON Network Guide

4. Select a method for acquiring the IP address. When you select Auto, DHCP becomes available and assigns an IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, select Manual.

Note:

❏ The network administrator must check any changes made to the IP address settings.

❏ When Auto is selected, DHCP becomes available. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is

installed on your computer and correctly configured. See your operating system’s online help for detailed instructions.

❏ If Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is enabled, a private IP address is

automatically assigned to the network interface even when there are no DHCP servers on your system or your network.

❏ If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and then

enter an IP address. This is because if you select Auto, the IP address of the network interface changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.

5. To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any other devices on the network.

Note:

If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the default values there.

6. If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be obtained by the DHCP server, leave it at Enable for Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA); otherwise, select Disable.

7. When setting an IP address using the ping command, select Enable for Set Using PING. Select Disable when setting an IP address with EpsonNet Config; this prevents any unexpected change of the IP address.

8. Select Enable for Acquire DNS Server Address Automatically if you want to acquire the DNS server address using the DHCP server.

If you want to enter the DNS server address manually, select Disable and then enter the IP address of the DNS server.

Network Software 98

EPSON Network Guide

9. Select Enable for Acquire Host Name and Domain Name Automatically if you want to acquire the host name and the domain name using the DHCP server.

If you want to specify manually, enter the host name and the domain name in the text boxes.

10. Select Enable for Register Network Interface Address to DNS Server if you want to register the host name and domain name to the DNS server through the DHCP server that supports Dynamic DNS.

If you want to register the host name and the domain name directly to the DNS server, select Enable for Register Network Interface Address Directly to DNS Server.

11. Select Enable or Disable for Use Universal Plug and Play. Select Enable if you want to use the Universal Plug and Play function on Windows Me or future operating systems.

12. Change the default Universal Plug and Play device name, if desired. This device name is used for Windows that supports the Universal Plug and Play function.

13. Mac OS X only: Select Enable or Disable for Use Bonjour. If you select Enable, enter the Bonjour Name and the Bonjour Printer Name. If your network environment supports DHCP, you can use the printer on the network just by enabling this setting.

14. Click Submit and then enter the password to update the settings.

Note:

If you have set the Administrator Name on the Administrator screen, enter the administrator name for the user name.

15. If the message “Configuration change is complete!” appears on your screen, the update is complete. Do not exit the Web browser and do not send a job to the printer until this message appears. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the printer.

Note:

❏ Since the new IP address becomes available after the printer is reset, you need to restart EpsonNet

Config by entering the new IP address.
