A password is required to configure the print server. When you click OK in the setting dialog box or click the Return to Default button, the Password dialog box appears.
1. To set a password or to change the current password, click Change. The Administrator password dialog box appears.
2. When you set a password for the first time, leave the Old Password box blank, and enter a password in the New Password box and in the New Password (again) box (up to 20 characters). Then click OK. Passwords are case sensitive.
Note:
❏ The same password is used for EpsonNet WinAssist, MacAssist, and WebAssist.
❏ Since the new password becomes effective after the data is sent to the print server, enter the old password immediately after changing the password.
❏ If you forget your password, you need to initialize the print server. See “Initializing the Print Server” on page 235 for instructions.
Configuring the Print Server Using EpsonNet WinAssist EasySetup
You can also use EpsonNet WinAssist EasySetup to easily configure the print server ready for TCP/IP and Microsoft Network printing within a short time.
Note:
❏ The computer to use for the following steps must be in the same segment as the print server.
❏ When you assign an IP address manually, we recommend you use EpsonNet WinAssist to set the subnet mask and default gateway.
❏ If EpsonNet WinAssist is installed on your computer, you can also run EpsonNet WinAssist EasySetup from the Start menu. Click Start, point to Programs or All Programs (Windows XP/Server 2003), and then select EpsonNet WinAssist V4. Click EpsonNet EasySetup to start it. Then go to step 5 below.
Follow the steps below to configure the print server using EpsonNet WinAssist EasySetup.
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Insert the Software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
3. The EPSON Installation Program starts automatically.
If the Installer dialog box does not appear, double-click SETUP.EXE on the CD-ROM.
4. Select EpsonNet WinAssist Easy Setup, and then click . 5. The EpsonNet WinAssist Easy Setup dialog box appears.
Click Next.
6. Read the License Agreement and then click Next.
7. Select the target printer and then click Next.
Note:
If the same printer model name appears several times on the list, you can identify the printers by checking their MAC addresses, which are found on the status sheet.
8. Specify whether to use the Microsoft network sharing service, and then click Next. If you select No, proceed to step 11.
9. Check the print server name. Change it if necessary. Click Next.
10. Specify whether to use TCP/IP, and then click Next. (If you select No, proceed to step 12.)
11. Select Automatic or Manual. If you select Automatic, DHCP becomes available and assigns an IP address automatically. If you select Manual, enter the IP address.
Click Next.
Note:
❏ The print server does not have a default IP address. Be sure to assign a valid IP address manually or by using the DHCP server.
❏ If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and enter an IP address. This is because if you select Automatic, the IP address of the print server changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
❏ To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on your computer and configured correctly. See your operating system’s online help for detailed instructions.
12. Check the settings and then click Send.
If you have set a password for the print server, the Password dialog box appears. Enter your password (up to 20 characters) and then click OK. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Caution:It takes two or three minutes to send new settings to the print server. Do not turn off your printer until an on-screen message prompts you to do so.Chapter 4
