Setup Guide
You can now install the EPSON Net! utility software, which
configures the Ethernet card.
Installing EPSON Net!
If you are using NetWare or TCP/IP, install EPSON Net! on a
workstation in the same segment as the printer. If you are using
AppleTalk, install EPSON Net! for Macintosh on a Macintosh
computer on your network.
Do not install EPSON Net! if you are using DLC with
Windows NT.
Installing in Windows
1. Insert the EPSON Net! for NetWare Windows and
Windows NT Installation Diskette.
2. In Windows NT 4.x, click Start, then click Run.
Note:
To use Windows 95 with
TCP/IP, don’t install
EPSON Net! Follow the
instructions on page 15
under “Installing TCP/IP in
Windows 95.”
In Windows NT 3.5x, select Run from the File menu in
Program Manager.
3. To install EPSON Net! for NetWare, type
A:\WINDOWS\INSTALL and click OK. (If your diskette
drive is not drive A, substitute the correct letter.)
To install EPSON Net! for Windows NT, type
A:\WNT\INSTALL and click OK. (If your diskette drive is
not drive A, substitute the correct letter.)
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the
installation.
After you install EPSON Net!, you use it to configure your
printer for NetWare or TCP/IP. See page 10 or page 18 for
instructions.

Installing in Macintosh
1. Create a folder for EPSON Net! on your hard drive.
2. Insert the EPSON Net! for Macintosh installation diskette.
3. Copy the program from the disk to the folder.
After you install EPSON Net!, you use it to configure your
printer for AppleTalk. See page 22 for instructions.
Configuring for NetWare
With NetWare, you can configure the printer as a print server,
remote printer, or have it switch automatically between these
two modes, depending on network conditions. Before you
configure the printer, check the following:
◗
Make sure Novell NetWare is set up to use print services on
your network. See your NetWare documentation for
details.
◗
Decide whether you want to use the printer as a dedicated
print server or as a remote printer, or whether you want to
switch automatically between these two modes.
◗
Make sure Bindery Emulation is selected. In PCONSOLE,
press F4 to switch between Bindery Emulation and
Directory Services.
Defining Your Printer on a Print Server
Note:
If you want to use your
printer as a dedicated
print server, skip to
“Using EPSON Net! for
NetWare Windows” on
page 12.
If you want to use your EPSON Stylus COLOR 800N as a
remote printer, you must use PCONSOLE to define it on a
NetWare print server. You then use EPSON Net! for NetWare
to configure the operating mode and make other configuration
changes.

Configuring for TCP/IP
You can configure the Ethernet card for TCP/IP if you are
using a UNIX TCP/IP network, a Windows 95 peer-to-peer
network, or Windows NT.
Installing TCP/IP in Windows 95
Windows 95 does not come with LPR, so in addition to
installing TCP/IP, as described below, you need to install the
EPSON TCP/IP printer protocol. The EPSON Status
Monitor 2 installer program automatically prompts you when
to install EPSON TCP/IP printer protocol.
Follow these steps to install TCP/IP:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
3. If TCP/IP appears in the list of installed network
components on the Configuration screen, you can skip to
“Assigning the IP Address” on page 16. If TCP/IP does not
appear in the list, click Add.
4. Click Protocol and then click the Add button.
5. Select Microsoft from the Manufacturers list and TCP/IP
from the Network Protocols list. Then click OK.
6. Click OK again and follow any on-screen instructions to
enable TCP/IP.

Assigning the IP Address
Note:
If you don’t know what
IP address to use for the
computer or the
Ethernet card, ask your
network administrator.
Or, follow the
instructions on page 19.
For a Windows 95 peer-to-peer network you need to set the
card’s IP address. Make sure the Ethernet card and printer are
on the same segment of the network as the computer you are
using to configure the card. Also, find out the IP address for the
computer and the IP address for the Ethernet card. Then,
follow these steps:
1. Find the hardware address (node number) for the Ethernet
card in your printer. Refer to the status sheet to determine
this number (see page 8).
2. Double-click the MS-DOS Prompt icon to open a DOS
window.
3. Set up the routing table, using the following command:
ping <IP address>
for example: ping 127.0.1.1
4. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to
the hardware address of the Ethernet card. Use the
following command:
arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>
for example:
arp -s 127.0.1.200 00-00-48-92-BD-9A
5. Start a continuous "ping" to the card, using the following
command with the card IP address:
ping <IP address>
for example: ping 127.0.1.200
You see a message similar to the following:
Reply

QuikSet2.fm Page 17 Wednesday, October 15, 1997 3:49 PM
Setup Guide
If you receive 4 lines that say “Request Timed Out,” the
card is not set up correctly. Check to make sure the card is
on the same segment of the network as the workstation you
are using to configure it and that you typed in the correct
IP and hardware addresses.
Before you can print using TCP/IP, you still need to install the
Status Monitor (see page 24) and add a printer port (see
page 27).
Installing LPR Software in Windows NT
Follow these steps if you need to set up Windows NT to print
with TCP/IP:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
3. In Windows NT 4.x, click the Services tab. If Microsoft
TCP/IP Printing is listed under Network Services, you can
skip to “Configuring the Ethernet Card for TCP/IP” on
page 18. If it is not, click Add.
In Windows NT 3.5x, if Microsoft TCP/IP Printing is
listed under Installed Network Software, you can skip to
“Configuring the Ethernet Card for TCP/IP” on page 18.
If it is not, click Add Software.
4. In Windows NT 4.x, select Microsoft TCP/IP Printing
from the Network Service list and click OK. Continue with
step 6.
In Windows NT 3.5x, select TCP/IP Protocol and related
components from the Network Software list and click
Continue.
5. In Windows NT 3.5x, select TCP/IP Network Printing
Support in the Windows NT TCP/IP Installation Options
dialog box and click Continue.

Printing appears in the Network Services list, select it, and
click Properties. The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties dialog
box appears.
In Windows NT 3.5x, make sure Microsoft TCP/IP
Printing appears in the Installed Network Software list
box, then click OK. The TCP/IP Components box appears.
8. Set the IP address and the subnet mask of the Windows
NT server or workstation. If you want to use the gateway
(router), set the IP address of the nearest gateway as the
default gateway.
9. In Windows NT 4.x, click Yes to restart the computer.
In Windows NT 3.5x, click Restart Now when the
Network Settings dialog box appears.
For more information, see your Windows NT documentation.
Then follow the instructions below to configure the Ethernet
card in your printer.
Configuring the Ethernet Card for TCP/IP
If you’re using Windows NT, follow these steps to configure
your printer with EPSON Net!:
1. Double-click the EPSON Net! (NT) icon to start EPSON
Net! for Windows.
2. Select the correct serial number for the Ethernet card in

off or restarting your
printer.
Auto IP address
Set to Off.
4. After making your settings, click Save.
After you configure your printer, you need to install EPSON

Note About IP Addresses and Subnet Masks
If you don’t have a network administrator, you can assign IP
addresses in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. Each
computer or other device connected directly to the network
must have a unique IP number. The subnet mask should be
255.255.255.0. However, you should not use these addresses if
your network has a direct (rather than dial-up) connection to
the Internet.
Setting Up DLC
If you use Windows NT, the Ethernet card can work with the
DLC (Data Link Control) support provided in your operating
system. Follow the instructions below to install DLC support in
Windows and configure the printer.
