Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Depending on your system, you can connect the printer to your computer
using any of the following:
•
USB interface (1.1 compatible)—for Windows 98 (factory-installed),
Me, 2000, XP, and Macintosh
•
Parallel interface—for Windows
•
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interface—for Windows Me, 2000, XP, and
Macintosh
•
Ethernet interface—for connection through an Ethernet network or
directly to any PC or Macintosh equipped with a 10/100 Ethernet port
For fastest print speeds, EPSON recommends connecting using FireWire or
USB, especially when printing with a third-party RIP station or directly
from your computer. If you’re using FireWire, two ports are included so you
can daisy-chain multiple printers to your system and keep them all running
at the full speed of the print engine.
If you choose to use Ethernet, make sure the bandwidth of your network is
sufficient to keep the printer running at full speed. To provide adequate
bandwidth, your network should have a switched 100 Mbit hub.
Note
Check the system
requirements on page 4
or 5 before connecting
your printer to make sure
your system meets or
exceeds the minimum
requirements.
