Connecting an Epson Printer to USchedule

1. Preparation:

  •    Ensure the Epson printer is powered on and connected to your network, preferably via Ethernet.
  •    Avoid connecting the printer directly to your PC.
  •    Print a network status sheet from the printer to obtain its IP address and serial number (automatic  upon powering on with Ethernet connected).
  •    Keep the printer's serial number ready for later use.

2. Accessing the Printer’s Web Interface:

  •    Open Microsoft Edge or a similar browser for better compatibility.
  •    Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser's address bar to access its web interface.
  •    If security prompts arise, click Advanced > Continue to the website (unsafe).

Please Note: Once you reach this step, with certain printer models you will be asked to submit a username and password before you are able to access the settings for printer configuration. If this is the case, please enter username epson and password as the serial number for the printer itself.

3. Administrator Login:

  •    On the printer’s web interface, navigate to Administrator Login (usually top-right).
  •    Log in using the printer's serial number as the password.

4. Configure Printer:

In the admin panel, locate the TM-i Settings or a similar tab.
