If you want to use your printer on an AppleTalk network, you need to install one of the optional interface boards: either the LocalTalk board or the Ethernet board. See Appendix A for more information about optional interfaces.

Then you can use the EPSON Namer utility and set up your printer in the Chooser. The EPSON Namer was installed on your hard drive along with the other printer software.

3.Select the AppleTalk zone where your printer is located.

4.Under New Name, type a name from your printer to distinguish it from other printers on the network.

5.Click Rename and then click Done.
