Viewing and changing communication settings

If you don’t need all of the printer’s communication settings for your network environment, you can turn unnecessary settings off with the Apple Printer Utility.

1On the printer, make sure the configuration switch is in the right-hand (M) position.

2On the computer, open the Apple Printer Utility.

Configuration switch

3Click the triangle to open the Communication Configuration category.

You see a list of communication settings options.

4Open the Port Configuration category.

5In the panel that appears, turn off settings you don’t use.

For example, if you know that the printer will never receive an AppleTalk message over the network, you can turn off the AppleTalk interface and stop the printer from sending out unnecessary AppleTalk packets.

6To send the changes to the printer, click Send.

This implements the new settings. You can alert users about the changes.
