How do I read a memory card inserted in my product over a network connection?

  • In Windows, follow these steps to map a network drive to the memory card reader:
    1. Print a Network Status Sheet.
    2. Open Windows Explorer.
    3. Select Map Network Drive from the toolbar (Windows Vista) or Tools menu (Windows XP or 2000). A Map Network Drive window appears.
    4. Select the drive letter you want to assign to the network drive.
    5. Enter the following in the Folder field: \\servername\sharename

      Refer to the printed network status sheet for the "servername" and "sharename".
      • servername = Host Name or Printer Name (e.g., EPSONXXXXXX, where XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the printer's MAC address)
      • sharename = File Share Name (default is MEMORYCARD)
      Be sure to type the servername and sharename exactly as it appears on the network status sheet (it is case sensitive).
    6. Place a check mark in the box to the left of Reconnect at Logon.
    7. Click Finish.

      If a Connect to EPSONXXXXXX window appears, select the appropriate user name and click OK to connect to the printer.
    If the memory card reader fails to map to a network drive, follow these steps to make sure your card reader is set up to be accessed over the network:
    1. If necessary, press the Home button on the Artisan control panel to return to the Home menu.
    2. Press or to select Setup, then press OK.
    3. Press or to select Network Settings and press OK.
    4. Press or to select File Sharing Setup and press OK.
    5. Make sure Enable is selected and press OK.
    6. Select the access level (Read Only or Read/Write) for the memory card reader and press OK.
    7. Select Yes and then OK to the warning about not using a memory card until network setup is complete.
