Installing the TCP/IP
Protocol
To use your EPSON Expression 1640XL as a
network scanner, your client computers and
scanner server must have a network interface card, a
network interface card driver, and the TCP/IP
protocol installed. In addition, both the client
computers and the scanner server must have an IP
address assigned.
If you have a newer Macintosh, the TCP/IP protocol was preinstalled on your
computer. Just make sure that TCP/IP is enabled in your Extensions Manager. Your
computer has already been assigned an IP address if you are running a DHCP server,
so no further setup is necessary. Obtain an IP address from your network
administrator if you want to enter an address manually.
If you’re running DHCP and WINS (Macintosh or Windows), or
if you have a DNS server (Windows only), you may find it
easier to use a host name rather than an IP address to identify
the scanner server. To specify a host name, you must enable
DNS. See your Windows or Macintosh documentation for
instructions.
