5.2.8 MAC Address Setting (NX510 series only)
†
Overview
NX510 series
have a network function and stores there MAC address (Media
Access Control Address) in the EEPROM on the Main Board. The Main Board
supplied as an ASP does not come with the MAC address written on it,
therefore, you are required to set the MAC address to the new Main Board after
replacement. The following explains the procedure.
†
Preparation
When replacing the Main Board, make sure to note down the MAC address written on
a label on the MB Upper Shield Plate. If the address is not readable due to
contamination or any other cause, attach a new MAC address label (part code:
TBD )
and note down the new address. See “ 4.4.1 Main Board Unit ” (p.105) for description
about the label position.

„ When the data of EEPROM on the old Main Board can be read
out, this adjustment is not required.
„ To avoid a conflict of MAC address on a network, make sure to
correctly follow the MAC address setting flowchart given on the
right.
„ The user should be notified of the change of MAC address
because of the following reasons.
• If the user has set the printer’s MAC address on a router, the
repaired printer with a new MAC address cannot be
connected to the network.
•
The default printer name on a network consists of “EPSON”
and the last six digits of the MAC address. Therefore, the
printer name becomes different from the previous one.
