Environments for EPSON Status Monitor 2
The protocols that must be installed to run EPSON Status Monitor 2
vary depending on your operating system and printer type. The
following table divides printers into three categories:
LPR printers, which use TCP/IP
NetWare printers, which use Novell's IPX/SPX protocol in a
NetWare environment
Windows shared printers
Use the following table to determine which protocols are needed for
your operating system and printer type.
Windows 95/98
Windows NT 3.51
Windows NT 4.0

EPSON
= EPSON TCP/IP Printing protocol
2
LPR
= Windows NT LPR protocol
Note:
LPR printers use LPR over TCP/IP as their communication protocol
suite, and you must install both protocols to use the Status Monitor to
monitor an LPR printer. See Chapter 3 for instructions on installing
TCP/IP.
NetWare printer protocols are already installed in your NetWare
network. If you have a NetWare printer, see "Installing EPSON Status
Monitor 2" in Chapter 11. For an explanation of NetWare printer
protocols, see your NetWare documentation.
Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not come with LPR, so in addition to
installing TCP/IP you need to install the EPSON TCP/IP printer
protocol. The Status Monitor installer program automatically prompts
you when to install EPSON TCP/IP. See "Installing EPSON Status
Monitor 2" in Chapter 11 for instructions.
