Windows System Requirements

For printing with the EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server, make sure
each computer meets the following requirements:

A Microsoft

®

Windows compatible PC or laptop with a Pentium

®

processor or later, 200 MHz or faster recommended

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT

®

4.0, Windows

2000, or Windows XP

32MB of RAM (64MB recommended)

100MB of free hard disk space (200MB or more recommended)

VGA or better display adapter and monitor

CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing the printer software

In addition, each computer needs to be connected to an existing wired
network that has a wireless access point, or needs to have a wireless adapter
installed.

An access point may be combined with a hub or router or may be a
separate unit. For a current list of supported access points, see EPSON’s
web site at: http://support.epson.com.

Wireless adapters can be installed in a PCMCIA slot on a laptop, a PCI
slot in a desktop computer, or connected through a USB port.

Make sure your wireless adapters(s) work in ad hoc mode if you want to
print without an access point. For a list of supported adapters, see
EPSON’s web site at: http://support.epson.com.

To connect the print server to your printer, you also need a high-speed,
bidirectional, IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable (6 to 10 feet long) with a
D-SUB, 21-pin, male connector for the print server and a 36-pin
Centronics

®

compatible connector for your printer.
