Administrator's Guide
Welcome to the Administrator's Guide.
For a printable PDF copy of this guide, click here.

Note: Not all features mentioned in this Administrator's Guide are available with every product model.

You can use two software utilities to configure your product's advanced network settings: Web Config
and EpsonNet Config. This guide covers Web Config in detail; for information on using EpsonNet Config,
see the EpsonNet Config help utility.
The available network functions vary by product. (Unavailable functions are not displayed on the
product’s control panel or software settings screen.) Epson products support the following system
administration functions:
• SSL/TLS communication: use Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security to encrypt traffic and
avoid spoofing between the product and a computer
• IPsec/IP filtering: control access and secure communications between the product and a network
gateway
• Individual protocol control: enable and disable single services
• Remote configuration of scan and fax destinations: use an LDAP server to look up fax and email
contacts
• User feature restriction: allow or deny access to printing, scanning, faxing, and copying on a per user
basis
• Import and export printer settings: migrate settings from product to product

7
Using Web Config Network Configuration Software
Follow the instructions in these sections to configure your product's adminstrator network settings using
the Web Config software.

Note: Before you can configure system administration settings, connect the product to a network. See

advanced setting pages are available.

Note: Before you can configure system administration settings, connect the product to a network. See
the product's Start Here sheet and User's Guide for instructions.

You can lock the settings you select by setting up an administrator password for your product. See the
product's User's Guide for instructions.
Parent topic: Using Web Config Network Configuration Software

Accessing Web Config

You can access Web Config from your browser using HTTP or HTTPS.
By default, you access Web Config for the first time using HTTP. If you continue to use HTTP, Web
Config does not display all available menus.
1. Print a network status sheet for your product and identify the product IP address. See the product's
User's Guide for instructions.
2. Start your web browser and make sure JavaScript is enabled.
3. Type the product IP address into the browser as follows, depending on the protocol you are using:
• IPv4: http://product IP address

8
 • IPv6: http://[product IP address]/
The Basic Settings page appears:

4. To use HTTPS, configure the address to use HTTPS in your browser.

A message warning about the self-signed certificate appears.
To access Web Config after configuring the address to use HTTPS, enter https:// before the product IP
address, shown in step 3.

Cannot Find Access Web Config

If you cannot access Web Config on your product, try these solutions:
• Make sure your product is turned on and connected to your network using the correct IP address.
Verify connection using your product control panel or print a network status sheet. See your product's
User's Guide for instructions.
• If you selected High as the Encryption Strength setting in Web Config, your browser must support
AES (256-bit) or 3DES (168-bit) encryption. Check your browser's encryption support or select a
different Encryption Strength option.
• If you are using a proxy server with your product, configure the browser's proxy settings as follows:
• Windows: Select Control Panel > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections >
LAN settings > Proxy server. Select the setting that does not use the proxy server for local
addresses.
• OS X: Select System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies. Register the local address
under Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains. For example, 192.168.1.*: Local
address 192.168.1.XXX, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
