Setting Up Your Printer
Installing the Print Server Hardware
The print server hardware is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter that supports several
network protocols. Follow the instructions below to install it on your EPSON Stylus
C80N printer.
Do not place anything on top of the print server after it is installed in the
printer.
Leave adequate room around the print server for easy operation.
1. Make sure the printer and the print server are powered off.
2. Plug the print server into the printer’s parallel port. Squeeze the wire clips
together until they lock in place on either side of the connector.
3. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the print server, then
connect the other end to a hub or switch.
Use Category 5 twisted pair cable to prevent malfunctions.
By default, when the print server is turned on it will try to obtain an IP
address automatically using DHCP. If it cannot get an IP address
through DHCP, it will use the private IP address of 192.168.192.168.
Make sure this address is not already used on your network before
connecting the print server to the network. For information on changing
the IP address, see the PDF-format
Administrator’s Manual on the
Printer Software CD-ROM.
Do not connect or disconnect the network cable when the printer is on.
