Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly connected to one of them. The
computer that is directly connected to the printer is the printer server, and the other computers are
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the printer server. The clients share the
printer via the printer server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights on the network, perform the
appropriate settings of the printer server and clients.
❏ See "Setting up your printer as a shared printer" on page 63.
❏ See "Setting for the clients" on page 65.
Note:
❏ When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3 so that the shared printer can be
monitored on the printer server and clients. See "Setting up EPSON Status Monitor 3" on page 56.
❏ When connecting to a shared printer beyond a router, error and warning notification for shared
printers during printing is not available in some cases because of the router's settings.
❏ The printer server and clients should be set on the same network system, and they should be under
the same network management beforehand.
