Setting Up Your Printer

When setting up a printer to print with LPR, you can add both a printer located in the same segment and one located beyond a router.

Note:

Be sure that the computer is connected on the network and TCP/IP is correctly set.

A valid IP address other than default value "192.168.192.168" for the interface card must be set; otherwise the printer does not appear under the Epson_lpr group icon. See Chapter 2 to set the IP address for the interface card.

The EPSON Status Monitor 2 shipped with the interface card models C82362/C82363/C82364with software version 1.x and EPL-N2700/N4000 printers enables EPSON TCP/IP printers. EPSON TCP/IP printers can coexist with lpr printers added by EpsonNet Direct Print.

The functions such as pause printing, cancel printing, and purge print job are not available when you double-click the printer icon in the Printers folder.
