Macintosh System Requirements

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

An Apple iBook, iMac,

PowerBook G3 or G4, Power Mac G4 Cube, or

Power Mac G3 or G4

Mac

®

OS 8.6 through 9.2 (Mac OS 9.2 recommended)

If you are using Mac OS X, check the EPSON web site for driver
updates and support information. Connect to the Internet, then go
to http://support.epson.com.

32MB of available RAM (64MB recommended)

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

VGA display or better

CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing the printer software

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

If you are using AirPort, EPSON recommends that you use the
print server with an access point or AirPort Base Station. With
AirPort, your print server works more reliably in infrastructure
mode.

Make sure the access point supports AppleTalk.

For a list of supported

access points, see EPSON’s web site at: http://support.epson.com.

For computers not connected to a wired network, you need an AirPort
card or Macintosh-compatible wireless adapter. Make sure your card or
adapter works 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.

If you are using an AirPort card or the AirPort Base Station, use AirPort
software version 1.3 or later.

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
standard connectors.
