124 Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
❏ For Windows NT 4.0, see “With Windows NT 4.0” on page 
138.
Note:
❏ When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3 
so that the shared printer can be monitored on the print server. See 
“Setting Monitoring Preferences” on page 71.
❏ When you are using a shared printer in a Windows Me, 98, or 95 
environment, on the server, double-click the Network icon in 
Control panel and make sure that the “File and printer sharing for 
Microsoft Networks” component is installed. Then, on the server 
and clients, make sure that the “IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol” or 
the “TCP/IP Protocol” is installed.
❏ The print server and clients should be set on the same network 
system, and they should be under the same network management 
beforehand.
❏ The screen may vary depending on your operating system version.
