Environments for EPSON Status Monitor 2 The protocols that must be installed to run EPSON Status Monitor 2 vary depending on your operating system and printer type. The following table divides printers into three categories: u LPR printers, which use TCP/IP u NetWare printers, which use Novell's IPX/SPX protocol in a NetWare environment u Windows shared printers Use the following table to determine which protocols are needed for your operating system and printer type. Windows 95/98 Windows NT 3.51 Windows NT 4.0 LPR Printer (TCP/IP) TCP/IP & EPSON 1 TCP/IP & LPR 2 TCP/IP & LPR 2 NetWare Printer (IPX/SPX) NetWare NetWare NetWare Windows Shared Printers Not available TCP/IP & LPR 2 TCP/IP & LPR 2 EPSON 1 = EPSON TCP/IP Printing protocol LPR 2 = Windows NT LPR protocol Note: u LPR printers use LPR over TCP/IP as their communication protocol suite, and you must install both protocols to use the Status Monitor to monitor an LPR printer. See Chapter 3 for instructions on installing TCP/IP. u NetWare printer protocols are already installed in your NetWare network. If you have a NetWare printer, see "Installing EPSON Status Monitor 2" in Chapter 11. For an explanation of NetWare printer protocols, see your NetWare documentation. u Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not come with LPR, so in addition to installing TCP/IP you need to install the EPSON TCP/IP printer protocol. The Status Monitor installer program automatically prompts you when to install EPSON TCP/IP. See "Installing EPSON Status Monitor 2" in Chapter 11 for instructions. Introduction 5
