Installing Software and Configuring the Print Server

Setting Up Printing on a Macintosh
This section explains how to install the software and configure the print server from a
Macintosh. Once the print server is configured, you can select the
Stylus C80 Series
printer icon in the Chooser of any Macintosh on your wireless network that has the
printer driver installed.
Preparing for Installation
Follow the instructions beginning on page 7 to set up the printer, connect it to the
print server, and test the connection. Then follow the steps in one of the sections
below, depending on the type of adapter installed in your Macintosh.
If Your Macintosh Has an AirPort Wireless Adapter
Do the following if your Macintosh has an AirPort wireless adapter:
■
Make sure
that AirPort is enabled in the AppleTalk Control Panel. If your
Macintosh and AirPort Base Station or access point are connected over an existing
Ethernet network, select
Ethernet
in the AppleTalk Control Panel.
■
Make sure
that both AppleTalk and TCP/IP are enabled in your AirPort utility.
■
To use the printer in infrastructure mode, select a working connection to a base
station or access point from the AirPort Networks list.
Note the name of the AirPort Network. If you have a Windows
computer on your wireless network, use this name as your
computer’s SSID (Service Set Identifier). For instructions on setting
the SSID, see the documentation for the wireless adapter in your
Windows computer.
■
To use the printer in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode, create or join a
computer-to-computer network. See your AirPort documentation for details.
Epson recommends that you use the print server with an AirPort
Base Station or access point. With AirPort, your print server works
more reliably in infrastructure mode than computer-to-computer
(ad hoc) mode.
