Connecting the Printer to the Host Devices
USB Interface
When using USB cable to connect with host device, connect the USB cable to the printer, and after starting the
host device, turn the printer on.
Ethernet Interface
Use ethernet cable to connect the printer to network via a hub.
Use EpsonNet Config, EpsonNet Config (Web version), or arp/ping commands to set network.

Wireless LAN Interface
Using Epson TM Utility, you can easily connect the printer to the network from an iOS or Android devices. We

the network setup tool (EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config (Web version)).
Do not place any weight or stress on the cable when using. Doing so could damage the cable and
connectors.
