User’s Guide Update
Please update your EPSON Type B Ethernet Interface Card
(C82332*) User’s Guide with the following information:

Ll
The Type B Ethernet Interface Card is also referred to as the
Multi-protocol Ethernet Interface Card. You may notice this
name when ordering, for example.
The Type B Ethernet interface card can be installed in ink jet
printers, as well as laser and dot matrix printers.
Although the manual states that your printer must support
PostScript printing, you can use the Ethernet interface card
in any EPSON Stylus ink jet printer that has a Type B option
slot.
If you are using your printer in an Apple Ethertalk network,
you need to use the EPSON Namer program to rename it, as
described on page 3-2. However, please note that the
EPSON Namer program is on the printer driver diskette
that came with your printer, not on the EPSON Net! for
Macintosh diskette, as mentioned in your manual.

Product Update for EPSON PostScript
Printer Users
This update applies only to networks that include EPSON
PostScript
®
printers.
Note:
If your network does not include Macintosh
®
workstations, please disregard
this update. No additional settings need to be made.
Your C82331* Ethernet Interface Card cannot automatically switch
between AppleTalk
®
and non-AppleTalk PostScript printing
environments. You first need to configure your printer for AppleTalk
or non-AppleTalk PostScript printing with the AppleTalk PS option
in the Epson Zoner utility. The Epson Zoner dialog box shown on
page 3-7 of your User’s Guide should appear as follows:
To configure your printer, see the appropriate section below.
For non-AppleTalk PostScript printer support
Make sure the AppleTalk PS option in Epson Zoner is set to
Inactive (default setting).
For AppleTalk PostScript printer support
Be sure to change the AppleTalk I’S option in Epson Zoner to
Active.
After changing the AppleTalk PS option, click the Set button and
wait for at least 30 seconds before rebooting your printer.

Introduction
The C82331* EPSON Type B Ethernet Interface Card is a
combination of hardware and software that lets you connect an
EPSON printer equipped with an optional Type B interface slot
directly to your network. Just install the Ethernet Card into your
printer’s optional interface slot (see your printer guide or contact
your EPSON dealer for applicable models), and connect it
anywhere on your network.
Use the EPSON Ethernet Card software to quickly and easily set
up the interface as either a print server or remote printer on a
Novell NetWare network, or as an Ethertalk (Apple) network
printer. Utility software is not needed for installation on a
Windows NT
®
(with DLC Transport protocol) or UNIX@ network.
The Ethernet Card can be directly connected to a l0BASE or
I0BASE-T network. It automatically selects the connected network
when
powered on. In addition, it supports IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.2,
and Ethertalk Phase II network protocols.
Supported Network Protocols and Features
The Ethernet Card supports the following network protocols:
Novell
NetWare
Cl
Allows your printer to function as a print server or remote
printer. An additional mode, Auto PrintServer/Remote,
automatically switches between print server and remote
printer modes, depending on network conditions.
Cl
Services up to 32 print queues on up to eight file servers.
D Provides the same
functions
as NetWare’s PSERVER program
in print server mode and RPRINTER in remote printer mode.
Introduction 1
AppleTalk
D
Supports Ethertalk Phase I and Phase II communication.
Ll
Provides easy installation with Epson Zoner and Epson
Namer utilities. Requires only the Epson Zoner utility for set
up in Ethertalk Phase II.
Cl
Works with optionally equipped PostScript
TM
(EpsonScript)
printers.
UNIX
LI
Supports most major commands, including lpd, ftp, arp, and
Ping.
Cl
Requires no setup utility. Allocation of the IP address is
executed by sending the arp command directly from the host
computer.
Windows NT
0
Supports Windows NT 3.1.
Ll
Compatible with Hewlett-Packard network printers.
Cl
Easily configured with Print Manager.
2 Introduction
Ethernet Card Hardware
The Ethernet Card is an interface card that plugs into an EPSON
printer’s optional Type B interface slot. It has connectors for either
an Ethernet Thin Coaxial (l0BASE2) or an Ethernet Twisted-Pair
(l0BASE-T) network connection.
Ethernet Card Software
The interface software consists of the following programs used to
install and configure the card on either a Novell NetWare or
Ethertalk network:
Ll
EPSON Net!
®
for NetWare
®
(DOS
®
, Windows™ is an
easy-to-use menu-driven installation and configuration utility
for installing on a Novell NetWare network.
Ll
Epson Zoner is a utility for installing the Ethernet Card on an
Ethertalk (Apple) network.
Cl
Epson Namer is a utility that assigns a unique name to your
printer on an Ethertalk (Apple) network.
Introduction 3
EPSON Printers Supported by the
Ethernet Card
EPSON’s Ethernet Card can be installed in a variety of EPSON
laser and dot-matrix printers.
Check you printer guide for a list of optional interfaces that can be
installed in your printer, or check with your local EPSON dealer. If
you are using an optional LocalTalk interface, see your interface
guide for information on compatibility.
Overview
This manual describes how to install, configure, and use your
Ethernet Card in a variety of network environments using the
following cable connections:
Cl
Ethernet Twisted-Pair (l0BASE-T)
Q
Ethernet Thin Coaxial (l0BASE2)
Installation of the Ethernet Card in your printer is simple and is
described in Chapter 1. The following steps provide an overview
of the installation process.
1.
Install the Ethernet Card in your EPSON printer and connect it to
the network as described in Chapter 1.
2.
Follow the instructions for installation under your specific
network environment. Use the EPSON Net! software if you are
installing on a Novell NetWare network or use Epson Zoner
and Epson Namer (if required) if installing on an Ethertalk
network.
4 Introduction
Note:
LI
The
default interface setting is print server mode. If you are setting
up the card for
use
in the
Novell Net Ware
environment, you will
need to determine whether you want to set up the Ethernet Card in
print
server,
remote printer, or Auto PrintServer/Remote mode.
Cl
If you want to operate you printer in more than one network
environment,
install the interface for each network as
described
in
the following chapters.
Terms and Concepts
A
node address
is a set of numbers that gives an item a unique
identity, including a printer on a network.
The file
server
stores data required for the Ethernet Card to operate
as a print server. Each Ethernet Card print server has
one
master
file server, which you designate during initial setup.
A
print queue
is a directory on a file server where a print job is
stored as a file, until the print server sends the job to the assigned
printer.
A
print server
moves jobs from print queues to printers.
A
remote printer
is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the
network, but under the control of a NetWare print server.
Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network
workstation running NetWare’s RPRINTER, but the Ethernet
Card can also function as a remote printer.
A
status sheet
prints each time the Status Sheet button of the
Ethernet Card is pushed. If the Card is installed as a print server,
the status sheet lists the configurations of the Ethernet Card on
each network.
Introduction 5
Ethertalk is AppleTalk’s communication protocol governing
Ethernet transmissions.
A print spooler is an application that places print jobs or requests in
a queue.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a
layer of protocols that provides communications between nodes
on a network.
ftp is a TCP/IP application protocol for file transfer.
lpd is a TCP/IP remote printing protocol application.
Resetting the Ethernet Card causes it to initialize. You can reset the
Ethernet Card in the following ways:
Cl
Switching the EPSON Ethernet Card-equipped printer off and
back on again.
Cl
Using the reset function or buffer clearing operation from the
control panel of your EPSON printer.
6 Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the Ethernet Card in your
printer. Subsequent chapters describe how to install the interface
on your network. See the section that applies to your particular
network for more information.
Hardware Installation
The interface card must be installed in the printer, connected to the
network, and the printer turned on before you set up the software.
Your interface package includes:
Li
The Ethernet Card
0
A coaxial Y-connector
Cl
Utility software disks for installing on a Novell NetWare
or Ethertalk (Apple) network
You must provide:
Cl
A network connection for the Ethernet Card (l0BASE or
l0BASE-T)
Cl
The host EPSON printer
