Introduction
The EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx Ext. Print Server is a combination
of hardware and software that lets you connect an EPSON printer
equipped with a parallel interface directly to your network. Just
attach the network adapter to your printer’s parallel interface
connector, and connect it anywhere on your network.
Note:
❏This manual is written for network administrators. Many of the
steps included here require detailed network knowledge and
administrator rights. The term network administrator refers to the
person responsible for maintaining the client network.
❏The term “network adapter” refers to the EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx
Ext. Print Server in this manual.
The network adapter automatically selects the correct interface
when it connects to the network. In addition, it supports IEEE
802.2, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP network
protocols.
Because the network adapter supports multiple protocols and
automatically detects the protocols on your network, you can
print from Microsoft® Windows®, Apple® Macintosh®, UNIX,
and IBM® OS/2 applications.
Use EpsonNet WinAssist or MacAssist, the configuration
software provided with your network adapter, to quickly and
easily configure the printer to use protocols such as IPX/SPX™,
TCP/IP, EtherTalk®, NetBEUI, and NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
