Use EpsonNet Config from the administrator’s computer. You can set many printers, but they need to be connected
physically by the Ethernet cable before setting. If you can build an Ethernet for the setting, and you set network settings
for the printer, and then connect printer to regular network, you can keep security risk low.

Using the Installer:

If the installer is used, the printer's network and client computer are set automatically. The setting is available by
following the installer's instructions, even if you do not have deep knowledge of the network. This is recommended
when setting the printer and a few client computers by using the server/client connection (sharing the printer using the
Windows server).
