SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet Port is a standard 10BaseT connection. Your Epilog Laser has all of the versatility of a network
capable peripheral. As such, there are many dierent ways that the laser can be connected to a computer
or a network. A direct connection using an Ethernet cable is the only method that will be described in this
manual. Connect the Ethernet cable (included in the accessories kit) to the Ethernet port, located on the
right-hand side of the machine. Plug the cable into the Ethernet port on the laser, then plug the other end
into the Ethernet port on your computer.
The Epilog Dashboard is the print driver that allows your computer to talk to your Epilog Laser system
when either the USB or Ethernet cables are connected. The driver is included in the accessories kit on
a CD-ROM or on our website at www.epiloglaser.com. To see detailed instructions on installing the print
driver, see “SECTION 3: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION” on page 23.
