Introduction
The EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx Int. Print Server 2 is a combination
of hardware and software that lets you connect an EPSON printer
equipped with an optional interface slot directly to your network.
Install the interface card into your printer’s optional interface slot
(see your printer documentation or contact your EPSON dealer
for applicable models), and connect it anywhere on your network.
Note:
❏
This manual is written for network administrators. Many of the
steps included here require detailed network knowledge and
administrator rights. The term network administrator refers to the
person responsible for maintaining the client network.

Base Tx Int. Print Server 2 in this manual.
The interface card automatically selects the correct interface when
it connects to the network. In addition, it supports IEEE 802.2,
IEEE 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP network protocols.
Because the interface card supports multiple protocols and
automatically detects the protocols on your network, you can
print from Microsoft
®
Windows
®
, Apple
®
Macintosh
®
, UNIX,
and IBM
®
OS/2 applications.
Use EpsonNet WinAssist or MacAssist, the configuration
software provided with your interface card, to quickly and easily
configure the printer to use protocols such as IPX/SPX™, TCP/
IP, EtherTalk
®
, NetBEUI, and NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Note:
The configuration software configures the interface card to work only
with the protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that
you can use all of the above mentioned protocols with your network or
operating system. The protocols that the interface card can use may vary
depending on the operating systems used and network configuration.
