Apple/Macintosh Environments

When the NIC Configuration Test Print is complete, set the switches back into Normal (D1 & D2 UP) or Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down) mode for normal printing operation.

9.4.5Printer Test Page

Generate a Printer Test Page using the Print key on the printer front panel. Use the Print key only to verify printer operation, NOT to verify network parameters.

If network parameters reported on the Printer Test Page, (i.e. EtherTalk Name, TCP/IP Address) do not match the ACTUAL parameters reported on the NIC Configuration Test Page, this will not affect network operation.

However, to avoid confusion from mis-matching parameters reported on the Printer Test Page, the following mechanisms can be used to modify parameters reported on a Printer test Page as well as those displayed through the front display panel.

AppleTalk Name, AppleTalk Zone, Preferred Server

Copy, edit, and download the Printer Config file to update the appropriate parameters on the Printer Test Page to be consistent with the parameters reported on the NIC Configuration Test Page.

TCP/IP Address, AppleTalk Phase, IPX Frametype

Use the front control panel to enter remaining parameters on the Printer Test Page consistent with parameters reported on the NIC Configuration Test Page.

9.4.6Using the Apple Printer Utility for Downloading Configuration Files

You can change NIC configuration parameters (other than the AppleTalk name) by modifying a NIC configuration file, then downloading the file to the printer/NIC.

To modify and download a configuration file with the Apple Printer Utility:

1.Open the Utilities for Macintosh diskette or folder.

2.Copy the NIC Config file. It should open with TeachText; if not, use a text editor that saves as ASCII.

3.Edit the list of configuration choices.
