Introduction

The C82331* EPSON Type B Ethernet Interface Card is a combination of hardware and software that lets you connect an EPSON printer equipped with an optional Type B interface slot directly to your network. Just install the Ethernet Card into your printer’s optional interface slot (see your printer guide or contact your EPSON dealer for applicable models), and connect it anywhere on your network.

Use the EPSON Ethernet Card software to quickly and easily set up the interface as either a print server or remote printer on a Novell NetWare network, or as an Ethertalk (Apple) network printer. Utility software is not needed for installation on a Windows NT® (with DLC Transport protocol) or UNIX@ network.

The Ethernet Card can be directly connected to a l0BASE or I0BASE-T network. It automatically selects the connected network when powered on. In addition, it supports IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.2, and Ethertalk Phase II network protocols.

Supported Network Protocols and Features

The Ethernet Card supports the following network protocols:

Novell NetWare

Cl Allows your printer to function as a print server or remote printer. An additional mode, Auto PrintServer/Remote, automatically switches between print server and remote printer modes, depending on network conditions.

Cl Services up to 32 print queues on up to eight file servers.

DProvides the same functions as NetWare’s PSERVER program in print server mode and RPRINTER in remote printer mode.
