Configuring the printer

Though the printer itself has no control panel, you can configure it by using programs on computers connected to the printer:

mOn UNIX workstations, log in to the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility using the UNIX telnet program, as described in “Using the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility,” next.

mOn Mac OS computers, use the Apple Printer Utility and the Chooser’s setup function, described in Chapter 2.

mOn Windows computers, use the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows, described in Chapter 3.

Each utility has some unique functions and some areas of overlap. For a list of each utility’s functions, see Appendix A.
