Network Printing on a PC

You can use your printer on a network under Windows 95
or other network operating systems. First you need to set up
your printer, using either your printer software’s built-in
network support or the network’s LPT port redirection
functions.

Note:
If you need to install a network interface board in your printer,
see page 17 for instructions.

When you use your printer’s built-in support, the Spool
Manager sends journal files from your computer to a shared
directory on a network server. These files can then be
printed from another computer attached to the printer.

First you need to run Spool Manager and identify the shared
directory to use for journal files. After you set this up on the
computer connected to the printer (the host system), you
need to perform a similar procedure on each remote system
on the network.

Under Windows 95, you also need to specify the port and
network path to the printer.

Setting Up the Host System

Follow these steps to set up the computer connected to the
printer:

1. Create an icon for the EPSON Spool Manager

(EPSPLMGR.EXE in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder
or directory).

2. Place this icon in the Startup folder.

3. Open the Spool Manager window as described on page 7.
