Installing the TCP/IP

Protocol

To use your EPSON Expression 1640XL as a network scanner, your client computers and scanner server must have a network interface card, a network interface card driver, and the TCP/IP protocol installed. In addition, both the client computers and the scanner server must have an IP address assigned.

If you have a newer Macintosh, the TCP/IP protocol was preinstalled on your computer. Just make sure that TCP/IP is enabled in your Extensions Manager. Your computer has already been assigned an IP address if you are running a DHCP server, so no further setup is necessary. Obtain an IP address from your network administrator if you want to enter an address manually.

If you’re running DHCP and WINS (Macintosh or Windows), or if you have a DNS server (Windows only), you may find it easier to use a host name rather than an IP address to identify the scanner server. To specify a host name, you must enable DNS. See your Windows or Macintosh documentation for instructions.
