Warning
Network connection and EPSON Precision Dot mode: For optimal performance, an IPv4 address is essential. While you can use a hostname (DNS) for dynamic name resolution—an example of this—you must ensure that it resolves to an IPv4 address.
SNMP Protocol
This printer driver supports SNMP version 1 and version 3. If necessary, you can manually change the SNMP protocol version to match your printer settings using the corresponding field in the Connection tab of ServerAdmin:
Info
Note that if you configure a device to use SNMP V3, you cannot access it using SNMP V1.
Media synchronization
Also in ServerAdmin, the Serial/Printer name must be filled in with the printer's serial number to connect to the EPSON Edge Dashboard for media synchronization. This action is only possible in the EasyMedia module. See the dedicated article for more information:
