AppleTalk

This chapter details using the LevelOne Printer Server in the

AppleTalk environment.

The LevelOne Printer Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and DDP protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the LevelOne Printer Server as a regular AppleTalk printer. Configuring and printing in the EtherTalk environment operates completely as usual.

The PSTool program has been provided specifically for the Macintosh environment, to allow easy configuration of your LevelOne Printer Server. However, it is not necessary to install and use this program for basic operation.

Software Requirements

System 7.x OS or newer.

AppleTalk Setup

1.Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel.

2.Click Network.

3.Ensure that EtherTalk is selected under AppleTalk Connection.

4.Click Chooser. The Chooser panel will open.

5.Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon. LaserWriter 8 makes use of the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing response time is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which increases network traffic and takes more printing time.

6.Select a LevelOne Printer Server from the printer list by clicking on the appropriate name. The LevelOne Printer Server’s name is recorded on a label on the bottom of the LevelOne Printer Server as "Server Name". This name consists of 8 digits and/or numbers.

7.Click on the Close box. Configuration is now complete.

Printing

Printing with the LevelOne Printer Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to normal printing.

For example, select a document that you want to print and then select File - Print. Chose the desired printer.
