Chapter 1
Introduction
About Your Printer
Your printer has a built-in Ethernet interface and can connect anywhere on your network using
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T Ethernet. 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 automatically selects appropriate network protocols.
Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and automatically detects protocols on
your network, you can print from Microsoft
®
Windows
®
and Apple
®
Mac OS
®
applications.
Use the Software Disc or the Epson website (http://support.epson.net/setupnavi/), 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, WSD, LLTD, UPnP,
Bonjour, 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.
About This Guide
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.
Note:
❏To read the online guide, you must have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your
computer.

Selecting a Printing Method
Printing from Windows
Check if there is a Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2012/Server 2008/Server 2003 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 12 for information on additional methods.
If no Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2012/Server 2008/Server 2003 print server exists
We recommend TCP/IP printing. See “Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/Server 2012/Server 2008” on
page 19, “Windows XP” on page 22, or “Windows Server 2003” on page 25.
If a Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2012/Server 2008/Server 2003 print server exists
On the server, set the printer to connect and turn it into a shared printer. Your clients can then print to
this shared printer.

Setting Up the Network Interface
Connecting the Network Interface to the Network
Follow the instructions below to connect the network interface to the network.
1. Make sure that your printer is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the network interface, and the
other end to the network.
c
Important:
❏You must use the following shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network interface to
a network.
-- Category-5 or higher for the 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connection
-- Category-6 or higher for the 1000Base-T connection
❏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 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T Ethernet. 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.
c
Important:
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 10.6 or later:
Since the printer supports Bonjour 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 setting, use the printer’s control
panel. See “Setting an IP Address on the Printer’s Control Panel” on page 48 for details.
Now, you can configure the network interface to use on the TCP/IP network and also install the
printer driver using the Software Disc shipped with your printer. See “Configuring the Network
Interface” on page 19 for details.
Epson Network Guide
How To 18

Configuring the Network Interface
Configure the network interface for use on the TCP/IP network by installing the EpsonNet Print (For
Windows Users) and the printer driver on your computer.
For detals about EpsonNet Print, see “EpsonNet Print (For Windows Users)” on page 36.
For installation of the printer driver, see “Installing the Printer Driver” on page 19.
Installing the Printer Driver
About Installing the Printer Driver
To print to the network printer, you need to install the printer driver on the computer. The following
section explains how to instal the printer driver manually. See the section in this chapter appropriate
for your operating system.
Note:
❏For Windows users, you can get the printer driver from the Software Disc shipped with your printer.
❏If your computer does not have a CD/DVD drive, download the driver from the Epson website, and
then install it.
