Macintosh Configuration
The Elite 21 printer can be accessed by a Macintosh network using either the EtherTalk (AppleTalk via Ethernet) protocol, or directly over TCP/IP by using Apple’s Desktop Printer Utility to select the printer via LPR.
EtherTalk Configuration:
To access the printer using EtherTalk, make sure that EtherTalk support is activated on the printer following these steps:
•Turn on the printer and press either Menu key until Input/Output appears.
•Press either Item key until EtherTalk appears.
•Press either Value key to set EtherTalk to Enabled. Press Select to confirm.
•Restart the printer to activate this setting.
This will allow the printer’s Ethernet interface to communicate using EtherTalk. To set up the printer, consult the “Installation for Printers Connected by EtherTalk” portion of Chapter 2 of this manual (Using the Elite 21 with a Macintosh).
Macintosh LPR Configuration:
To access the printer using LPR from a Macintosh, TCP/IP must be activated on the printer and the printer must be assigned an IP address. Follow the steps in the previous section (Assigning an IP Address) to enable TCP/IP and set all the necessary parameters.
This will allow the printer’s Ethernet interface to communicate using TCP/IP and accept LPR jobs. To set up the printer, consult the “Installation for Printers Connected by LPR” portion of Chapter 2 of this manual (Using the Elite 21 with a Macintosh).
