How to prepare Epson printer for Printix Go
Before installing Printix Go, the printer needs to be set up correctly.
-
Activate Epson Open Platform.
Printix Go installation (update and uninstallation too) causes the Epson printer's network interface to restart, leaving it disconnected from the network for about 1 minute.
To activate Epson Open Platform:
-
Obtain the serial number for the printer.
-
In Printix Administrator on the Printer properties page, you can see the Serial number, and you can select the
Modify icon to copy it to the clipboard.
-
Alternatively, you can find it on the back or on a sticker (bar code) on the bottom of the printer, or with the warranty supplied with the printer.
