ping <IP address>

for example: ping 127.0.1.200

You see a message similar to the following:

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<l0ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<l0ms TTL=30

This shows that the Ethernet card is set up for TCP/IP correctly.

If you receive 4 lines of “Request Timed Out,” The card is not set up correctly. Check to make sure the card is on the same network segment as the workstation you are using to configure it and that you typed in the correct IP and hardware addresses.

Before you can print using TCP/IP, you need to install the Status Monitor and add a printer port. See your EPSON Status Monitor 2 User’s Guide for instructions.

Note About IP Addresses and Subnet Masks

If you don’t have a network administrator, you can assign IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. Each computer or other device connected directly to the network must have a unique IP number. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. However, you should not use these addresses if your network has a direct (rather than dial-up) connection to the Internet.
