Epson 980N Quick Start - Page 6

Introduction Your EPSON Stylus Color 980N Professional Series printer is the ideal output device for business graphics, digital photographs, and more. It includes a built-in EpsonNet 10/100 Base TX Internal Print Server that lets your printer communicate using a variety of Ethernet protocols. The EpsonNet configuration software and additional utilities let you manage all your network printers, monitor printer status, and print across the internet. How To Use Your Documentation To set up your EPSON Stylus Color 980N printer and install the network software needed for printing, see the following sections: Setting Up Your Printer explains how to physically set up the printer and connect it to the network. Installing the Network Software describes the EpsonNet software utilities (for Windows® 95, 98, 2000, NT® 4.0, and Apple® Macintosh®). Follow these instructions to install the software and configure your printer for protocols including Novell® NetWare,® TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.® Installing the Printer Driver on the Workstations tells you how to install the printer driver on each networked workstation. The printer driver runs the printer, controls how documents look, and lets you configure the port settings so each workstation can see the printer over the network. Using Status Monitor 3 for Windows tells you how to monitor a printer over the network to check for low ink levels and other possible problems. Status Monitor 3 also lets you use TCP/IP for printing in Windows 95, 98, and 2000 peer-to-peer networks. After you've set up your system as described in this book, see the Administrator's Manual for additional network, configuration, and Ethernet card information. An 1
