Connecting the network cable

Once the board is installed in your printer, you must attach the network cable to the interface. The Ethernet Card can accept either a 10BASE-T or 10BASE network cable.

The Ethernet Card is an intelligent interface that can detect which kind of cable is attached; you do not need to make any hardware or software settings to specify the cable type. However, you must not attach more than one cable at a time.

Attach the network cable to the appropriate connector on the interface, as shown in the diagram.

Setting up the printer

Some EPSON printers require you to use the printer’s control panel or DIP switches to select the interface you plan to use. The method of making control panel settings on EPSON printers may be called SelecType or default-setting mode. See your printer manual for instructions on making the necessary interface settings.
