Setting up Apple Talk Printing

in Mac OS 9

The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS operating

system. It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast

Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk

transport.

Your Print Server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can

print from any MacOS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly

using an EtherTalk connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.

NOTE:

The Chooser name of a printer connected to one of the Print Server°s ports

is the same as its

Port Name

. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you will need to

make sure that every

Port Name

is unique among all of the network printers in your

AppleTalk zone. The

Port Names

shown in this manual are examples only.

Setting up the Print Server for AppleTalk Printing

To set up your Print Server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:

Note: Mac OS printing is supported for Postscript printers only!

If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk

zones

, you will have to

specify which zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print

Server in the same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your

network is not divided into zones, the AppleTalk Zone field should contain a

single asterisk ²*³.

Select the Network tab and scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk protocol

section

Change the IP Address on one of the computers on your network to

192.168.0.x, where

x

is any number between 11-254.

Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is

the default IP Address of the DP-300U.

Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh.
