About EpsonNet Config

EpsonNet Config is a Windows-based configuration software for administrators to configure the network interface for TCP/IP, NetWare, MS Network, AppleTalk, ipp, and SNMP.


Note:
  • Be sure to use EpsonNet Config included on the Software CD-ROM shipped with this product.

  • EpsonNet Config installed on Windows XP does not support NetBEUI as a search protocol because officially the NetBEUI protocol is not supported on Windows XP.


Note for users of printers supporting NetWare queue-based printing:
  • If you are using the printer in a dial-up environment without running NetWare, clear the Use NetWare check box on the NetWare screen. If this check box is selected, the extra account may be charged when you use the dial-up router.

  • When configuring the network interface for NetWare, use the IPX protocol and log in to the NetWare server or the NDS context with supervisor privileges.

  • When you configure the network interface for NetWare 5.x, you must log in to the NetWare server using an IPX connection. If you log in to the NetWare server using an IP connection, the NetWare screen and the IPX trap setting of SNMP are not available.
