Preparing to Install Configuring the print server is the process of setting it up to work with your network. This process begins immediately after you install the software, so it's important to make sure your printer is set up before you start installing. Follow the instructions beginning on page 7 to set up the printer, install ink cartridges, and load paper. Then follow the guidelines below: ■ Make sure that AirPort is enabled on your Macintosh. If your Macintosh and AirPort Base Station or access point are connected over an existing Ethernet network, enable Ethernet. ■ Make sure that both AppleTalk and TCP/IP are enabled and configured to connect via AirPort. ■ To use the printer in infrastructure mode, select a working connection to a base station or access point from the AirPort Networks list. Note: Make sure you note the name of the AirPort Network. If you have a Windows computer on your wireless network, use this name as your computer's SSID (Service Set Identifier). For instructions on setting the SSID, see the documentation for the wireless adapter in your Windows computer. ■ To use the printer in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode, create or join a computer-to-computer network. See your AirPort documentation for details. Note: EPSON recommends that you use the print server with an AirPort Base Station or access point. With AirPort, your print server works more reliably in infrastructure mode than computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode. ■ If you want to use WEP encryption on your AirPort network, you need to change your password to a hexadecimal value. Follow the instructions beginning on page 48 to install and configure your software. 32 Configuring Wireless Printing for Macintosh

Configuring Wireless Printing for Macintosh
Preparing to Install
Configuring the print server is the process of setting it up to work with your network.
This process begins immediately after you install the software, so it’s important to
make sure your printer is set up before you start installing.
Follow the instructions beginning on page 7 to set up the printer, install ink
cartridges, and load paper. Then follow the guidelines below:
■
Make sure
that AirPort is enabled on your Macintosh. If your Macintosh and
AirPort Base Station or access point are connected over an existing Ethernet
network, enable
Ethernet
.
■
Make sure
that both AppleTalk and TCP/IP are enabled and configured to
connect via AirPort.
■
To use the printer in infrastructure mode, select a working connection to a base
station or access point from the AirPort Networks list.
Note:
Make sure you note the name of the AirPort Network. If you have a
Windows computer on your wireless network, use this name as your computer’s
SSID (Service Set Identifier). For instructions on setting the SSID, see the
documentation for the wireless adapter in your Windows computer.
■
To use the printer in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode, create or join a
computer-to-computer network. See your AirPort documentation for details.
Note:
EPSON recommends that you use the print server with an AirPort Base
Station or access point. With AirPort, your print server works more reliably in
infrastructure mode than computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode.
■
If you want to use WEP encryption on your AirPort network, you need to change
your password to a hexadecimal value. Follow the instructions beginning on
page 48 to install and configure your software.
