Appendix B
Installing the TCP/IP Protocol
To use your EPSON Expression 1680 as a network scanner, your client computers
and scanner server must have a network interface card, a network interface card driver,
and the TCP/IP protocol installed. In addition, both the client computers and the
scanner server must have an IP address assigned.
If you have a newer Macintosh, the TCP/IP protocol was preinstalled on your
computer. Just make sure that TCP/IP is enabled in your Extensions Manager. Your
computer has already been assigned an IP address if you are running a DHCP server,
so no further setup is necessary. Obtain an IP address from your network
administrator if you want to enter an address manually.
If you’re running DHCP and WINS (Windows only), or if you have a DNS
server (Macintosh or Windows), you may find it easier to use a host name
rather than an IP address to identify the scanner server. To specify a host
name, you must enable DNS. See your Windows or Macintosh
documentation for instructions.
