Finding the printer’s name in the Chooser

1.From the Apple menu, select Chooser.

2.In the upper-left corner of the Chooser, ﬁnd the driver icon. (If the driver icon is not in the Chooser, you need to install the printer driver.) Click the driver icon.

3.If a list of zones appears in the lower-left portion of the Chooser, select the proper zone.

N O T E

The printer’s default zone is listed on the Conﬁguration Page in the EtherTalk or TokenTalk ﬁeld. For more information on the Conﬁguration Page, see “Printing a Conﬁguration Page” on page 2.

4.A list of printers appears in the right portion of the Chooser; ﬁnd your printer’s name. The printer’s default name is listed on the Conﬁguration Page (see “Printing a Conﬁguration Page” on page 2). If the name does not appear, check the cable connection between your printer and the network.

N O T E

It is possible for the Printer Name ﬁeld on the Conﬁguration Page to be blank. When the printer is powered up, it uses a default name and then checks to see that no other printer on the network has the same name. If enough printers with the same default name are present, it can take several minutes for the printer to establish a unique name. If the Printer Name ﬁeld on the Conﬁguration Page is blank, wait a short time and reprint the Conﬁguration Page.
