The administrator's workload can be reduced by performing batch setups for multiple devices on the network. O You can make settings or changes for individual network devices or all network devices as a batch. O You can output configuration information for the network device as a SYLK format file. Because the SYLK format is supported by Microsoft Excel, the user can make batch settings or changes to the configuration information for multiple devices. O For multi-function printers, you can import an abbreviated number for the fax or the email allowing you to save, edit, or export (for supported models only). O The administrator can set a password to protect the network device's configurations. O You can simplify device management by registering the device to My Device. O As well as devices on the local network, you can also make settings or changes to devices on an external network (you need to change Search Parameters). Note: O The batch settingfunction is only availablefor Windows versions. O In the EpsonNet Config Portable edition, the logfile is deleted when the application is closed. 4 EFTA00521506  Using EpsonNet Config Workflow First Time Make device settings one at a time Make batch settings for multiple devices "Setting or Changing Devices One at a lime" B "Making Batch Settings for Devices (Windows Only)" on on page 7 page 18 Create a file outlining the settings a Treating a SYLK file to Describe the Settings" on page 12 ♦ i Automatically assigned Manually assigned B "Assigning information B "Assigning information automatically on page 18 from settings one at a time (Manually assigned)" on page 23 Change the device's settings Make device changes one at a time Make batch changes for multiple devices ifr "Setting or Changing Devices One at a Time" a' 'Making Batch Settings for Devices (Windows Only)" on page on page 7 18 C a file outlining the settings B "Creating a SYLK file to Describe the Settings" on page 12 Automatically assigned Manuallyassigned a "Assigning information a "Assigning information automatically on page 18 from settings one at a time (Manually assigned)" on page 23 5 EFTA00521507  Using EpsonNet Config Restore the device's settings Restore the device's settings one at a time Restore the settings for multiple devices as a batch a "Setting or Changing Devices One at a Time" B "Making Batch Settings for Devices (Windows Only)" on page on page 7 18 C a file outlining the settings B treating a SYLK file to Describe the Settings" on page 12 Automatically assigned Manually assigned a "Assigning information a "Assigning information automatically" on page 18 from settings one at a time (Manually assigned)" on page 23 The following section provides a detailed explanation for how to make each setting.

Start EpsonNet Config, and then change Filter to Network-connected devices. II The default is (All). For inkjet label printers, select USB-connected devices and COM-connected devices if necessary. Select the device you want to configure. If the device is not displayed, check that the device or wireless adapter is turned on, or if the same segment as the computer has the device or wireless adapter. Set Tools - Options - Search Parameters to display devices outside the local network, or COM-connected devices. Pens Ow (FS) WY to Sm. 7 EFTA00521509  Using EpsonNet Config Note: ❑ If the model name is not displayed... The model name may not be displayed if the IP address far she network I/F stays at the default setting (192.168.192.168). In this case, you need to determine the device using the MAC address. Although you can check the MAC address on the network status sheet, for scanners and inkjet label printers you can check the sticker on the base of the network I/F. Some ink jet printers can also be identified on the control panel. Due to page printer model specifications, the default IP address (192.168.192.168) cannot be used on a network. Make sure you match the device to the current environment and change the IP address. ❑ Devices that use wireless LAN, such as inkjet labelprinters, may not be displayed because their default setting is ad•hoc mode. In this case, set the computer's wireless LAN environment to ad•hoc mode. ❑ When identifying and selecting devices with the same model... Use the MAC address to distinguish between multiple devices with the same model. Although you can check the MAC address on the network status sheet, for scanners and inkjet labelprinters you can check the sticker on the base of the network I/F. Some ink jet printers can also be identified on the control paneL ❑ When displaying devices outside the local network or zone... When the device is outside the computer's local network, click Tools - Options - Search Address, and set the search address on the Search Address screen to display the device. ❑ After selecting the device, you can start the Web-based EpsonNet Config by clicking Launch Browser. If you cannot start by clickingLaunch Browser, check that the IP address has been changedfrom its default setting, or that the IP address is not all ready in use. ❑ To register to My Devices... Select the device you want to register, and then click Device • Register to My Device or right-click to display Register to My Device, and register the device. When registered, a star appears on theproduct name icon. This is usefulfor managing a specific device because only devices that you have registered in Filter are displayed when you register your device.
