Because the EPL-N2000 supports many standard UNIX commands, you don't need a special setup utility to configure it from a host computer running UNIX. The EPL-N2000 functions as a remote printer for systems using TCP/IP Ethernet transfer with remote printing protocol (lpr) or standard file transfer protocol (ftp). After the printer has been set up on the network, any host computer can send a print file to it, provided the host has the device's name and IP address in its directory. Before you configure the EPL-N2000 for UNIX, make sure the printer is connected to the network. See Chapter 1 for details. Setting Up the EPL-N2000 as a Network Device Follow these steps to set up the EPL-N2000 as a network device: 1. Turn on the EPL-N2000 and press the status sheet button on the Ethernet card plate to print a network adapter status sheet. (This sheet provides information about the printer's node address.) See Chapter 1 for details. 2. Determine several IP addresses in use in the network segment to which the printer is connected. (The address you assign to the printer must contain the first three octets common to IP addresses for all devices on that network segment, and a unique fourth octet.) Note: You must assign a unique IP address to the printer before it can be used on the network. Otherwise the network may not be able to distinguish between the EPL-N2000 and another device. (This is especially true if another EPL-N2000 that has not be assigned an IP address is active on the network.) 5-2 Configuring the EPL-N2000 for UNIX

Configuring the EPL-N2000 for UNIX
Because the EPL-N2000 supports many standard UNIX
commands, you don’t need a special setup utility to configure
it from a host computer running UNIX.
The EPL-N2000 functions as a remote printer for systems using
TCP/IP Ethernet transfer with remote printing protocol (lpr) or
standard file transfer protocol (ftp).
After the printer has been set up on the network, any host
computer can send a print file to it, provided the host has the
device’s name and IP address in its directory.
Before you configure the EPL-N2000 for UNIX, make sure the
printer is connected to the network. See Chapter 1 for details.
Setting Up the EPL-N2000 as a Network Device
Follow these steps to set up the EPL-N2000 as a network
device:
1.
Turn on the EPL-N2000 and press the status sheet button on
the Ethernet card plate to print a network adapter status
sheet. (This sheet provides information about the printer’s
node address.) See Chapter 1 for details.
2.
Determine several IP addresses in use in the network
segment to which the printer is connected. (The address you
assign to the printer must contain the first three octets
common to IP addresses for all devices on that network
segment, and a unique fourth octet.)
Note:
You must assign a unique IP address to the printer before it can be
used on the network. Otherwise the network may not be able to
distinguish between the EPL-N2000 and another device. (This is
especially true if another EPL-N2000 that has not be assigned an IP
address is active on the network.)
