2 Epson Control Dashboard
The Epson Control Dashboard contains printer status information, Epson’s .emx media profile library and the media
configuration of the printer including physical media parameters (defined in 30 media configuration slots).
2.1 Download and setup the Epson Control Dashboard
Make sure the printer is fully set up with a fixed IP. IP connection is required for the Epson Control Dashboard connection.
NOTE: It is important that the COMM driver should not be installed at this stage. This would prevent the correct
installation of the Epson Control Dashboard.
Go to http://epson.sn, select the Epson SC-S80600 and go to “Setup”. From there you can download and install the
Control Dashboard. This will install the COMM driver and configure the Control Dashboard and the Epson Printer Port.
The Epson Control Dashboard can now be opened in a browser via the PC’s IP address (e.g.
http://192.168.3.104:30561/index.html).
NOTE: It is required to modify the Windows Firewall Settings to establish a connection to the Epson Control Dashboard.
It is necessary to install the Control Dashboard, printer and GMG ColorProof in the same sub net. We recommend
installing the Epson Control Dashboard and the ColorProof application on the same PC even though it is possible to install
them on separate systems.
2.2 Setup a new control dashboard printer connection
You can use the menu to navigate through different pages. On the Printer Registration page, you can register a new
printer via TCP/IP. If the installation and setup was successful you can now check your detailed printer status.
