Note:

When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3

so that the shared printer can be monitored on the printer server.
See “Setting up EPSON Status Monitor 3” on page 18.

When you are Windows shared printer user in a Windows Me or

98 environment, on the server, double-click the Network icon in
Control panel and make sure that the “File and printer sharing for
Microsoft Networks” component is installed. Then, on the server
and clients, make sure that the “IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol” or
the “TCP/IP Protocol” is installed.

When connecting to a Windows XP shared printer, error and

warning notifications do not appear during printing. Installing
Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later will solve this problem.

When connecting to a shared printer beyond a router, error and

warning notification for shared printers during printing is not
available in some cases because of the router's settings.

The printer server and clients should be set on the same network

system, and they should be under the same network management
beforehand.

The on-screen displays on the following pages may differ depending

on the version of Windows OS.
