Setting Up the Printer | 41
Connecting to the Network
If you plan to connect the printer to your network, you need the optional
EpsonNet print server card. The EpsonNet print server is a 10/100 BaseTX
Type-B Ethernet interface card (part number C12C824341).
If the print server card didn’t come with your printer, you can purchase it
from an authorized Epson reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call
800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766) or visit www.prograpics.epson.com. In
the U.S., you can also purchase online at www.epsonstore.com. In Canada,
you can also purchase at www.epson.ca or 800-807-7766.
Make sure you have the correct cable for connecting the printer. To connect
to a network hub, you need a standard RJ-45 “straight-through” network
cable. To connect directly to your computer’s network interface, you need
an RJ-45 crossover cable.
Before you install the print server, make sure you check the documentation
included with the card for additional instructions. Then follow these steps to
install the card:
1. Turn off your computer and printer.
2. IMPORTANT: Unplug the printer from its electrical outlet. Not doing
so may cause damage to the printer and the card.
3. Disconnect any interface cables from the printer.
4. Use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the
optional interface cover. Then lift off the cover as shown:
Note: The print server
card is included with the
Professional Edition of
the printer.
Caution: You must
unplug the printer from
the power outlet, or you
may damage the printer
and the card.
