Terms And Concepts - Epson EPL-N2000 Network Administrator's Manual

Chapter 5, "Configuring the EPL-N2000 for UNIX," describes
how to to use standard UNIX commands such as arp and ping to
set up and use the printer on a network running TCP/IP. No
special network utility is needed.
Chapter 6, "Configuring the EPL-N2000 for OS/2," describes
how to use EPSON Net! for OS/2 to send print files to the
EPL-N2000 through either redirection or piping.
Chapter 7, "Using the EPSON Status Monitor," describes how to
install the Status Monitor utility and use it to check printer
status, change printer settings, or work with printer
configuration files.

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 job to the assigned printer.
A print server moves jobs from print queues to printers.
A remote printer is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the
network, but under the control of a NetWare print server.
Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network
workstation running NetWare's RPRINTER, but the EPL-N2000
can also function as a remote printer.
A status sheet prints each time 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 configurations of the
printer on each network.
