About Your Printer

Your printer has a built-in Ethernet interface and can connect anywhere on your network using
10Base-T or 100Base-TX. (On some models, 1000Base-T is also supported.) 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 supports and automatically selects the IEEE
802.2, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP network protocols.
Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and automatically detects protocols on
your network, you can print from Microsoft
Use the Software CD-ROM 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, NetWare, NetBEUI,
®
AppleTalk , IPP, 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.
❏ Some printers do not support NetWare queue-based printing. See the manual shipped with your
printer for details.
