Apple 12/600PS Viewing and changing communication settings, Open the Port Configuration category

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.

For more information about connecting the printer to LocalTalk, Ethernet, and parallel ports, see “Connecting the Printer” in Chapter 1.

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

This is the normal setting and prepares the printer to accept the changes you send. You should leave the switch in the right-hand position unless you need to reset the ports and cannot use the Apple Printer Utility to do it. (For example, if you inadvertently turn off communication to all ports.)
