Once your printer is set up, you’re ready to connect it to your individual
computer or network and install the drivers. If you have the RIP Station
5100, you need to connect the printer to the RIP and install the RIP
software. See the RIP Station 5100 Getting Started for instructions.
For non-PostScript printing using the EPSON driver, you can install the
EpsonNet Internal Print Server and connect the printer to your network, or
use one of the built-in interfaces to connect to an individual computer. You
can also install the EPSON FireWire
® interface card for fast connection, if
your system supports it. If you connect the printer directly to a networked
computer, you can use the Macintosh or Windows printer sharing feature to
allow printing over your network.
This chapter provides instructions for the following:
• Installing the EpsonNet Internal Print Server or FireWire interface card
• Connecting to the USB interface
• Connecting to the parallel interface
• Installing the software and setting up printer sharing on a Macintosh
• Installing the software and setting up printer sharing in Windows
Installing the EpsonNet Internal Print Server or
FireWire Interface Card
For additional connectivity without a RIP, you can install one of the
following cards in your printer:
• EpsonNet Internal Print Server (10 Base T/100 Base TX)—C823632A
• EPSON FireWire Interface Card (Type B IEEE 1394)—C823722
