Page 13 Introduction The EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx Int. Print Server 2 is a combination of hardware and software that lets you connect an EPSON printer equipped with an optional interface slot directly to your network. Install the interface card into your printer’s optional interface slot (see your printer documentation or contact your EPSON dealer for applicable models), and connect it anywhere on your network.
Page 14: Introduction
Instead, immediately turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and contact your EPSON dealer. Do not repair it yourself because this is dangerous. Do not disassemble or modify the interface card unless specifically instructed in the manual.
Page 15: Enclosed Items
Online Guide Supplement Sheet EpsonNet WebManager Installation Guide Caution : Your interface package requires a network connection for the interface card and a host EPSON printer. Use a Category-5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the interface card to a network. Introduction...
Page 16: About Functions Of The Interface Card
About Functions of the Interface Card By installing the interface card into your printer’s optional interface slot, network printing becomes available. The interface card automatically selects either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX when it is connected to a network. An IP address is automatically assigned to the interface card even if there is no DHCP server on your network.
Page 17: Epson Printers That Support The Interface Card
EPSON Printers that Support the Interface Card The interface card can be installed in the following EPSON printers (as of April, 2001).

Page 23: Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started This chapter explains how to install and use the interface card. Interface Card Operation The lights and the status sheet can provide you with important information about the operation and configuration of the interface card. Status sheet button RJ-45 connector Status light Data light...
Page 24: Status Lights
Status lights The interface card has two status lights that indicate the current operating status of the interface card when you first turn on the printer, during normal operation, and when errors occur. The Status light has two colors, red and green, and when both colors are on it appears orange.
Page 25: Network Connectors
You cannot print a status sheet if the printer has started printing, if it is off-line, or if it is not ready to print. Note: If the printer does not print a status sheet, make sure that the printer is on-line and no print jobs are being processed, then wait a minute.
Page 26: Connecting To The Network
Connecting to the Network Follow the instructions below to install the interface card in your printer. 1. Make sure that the printer is turned off. 2. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the interface card and other end to the network. Caution: You must use a Category-5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the interface card to prevent malfunctions.
Page 27 4. Make printer settings using the printer’s control panel. Some EPSON printers require you to use the printer’s control panel to select the interface you plan to use. See your printer’s documentation for instructions on making the necessary interface settings. If your printer automatically selects the interface and is set to the Auto mode, it is not necessary to make the interface settings.
Page 28: Initializing The Interface Card
Initializing the Interface Card You must initialize the interface card in the following cases: The first time you turn on the printer after installing the interface card When the utility does not recognize the interface card because of settings conflicts on the network If you forget the configuration utility’s password Follow these steps to initialize the interface card.
Page 29: Chapter 2 Easy Setup Configuration

Using a dial-up network in each mode Print Server mode You must use a dedicated dial-up line.
Page 94: When There Is A Primary Server At The Dial-Up Destination
When there is a primary server at the dial-up destination For local networks with file servers: Primary file server Dial-up File (primary print server) router server Dial-up router Printer Local network Remote network 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.
Page 95 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 with the interface card 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.
Page 96 For local networks with a primary server 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. File server Dial-up (print server)
