Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with your print server on an AppleTalk network (EtherTalk, TokenTalk, or
LocalTalk), do these steps in the order shown before you call the place where you bought your printer.
1Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server. To find out, press
the operator panel button to print a network setup page and look in the paragraph under
AppleTalk.
2Make sure the status of the MarkNet print server is “connected”. To find out, look on the
network setup page for Status.
3Do you see the printer in the Chooser?
–If no, restart the Macintosh workstation and look again.
–If yes, make sure the printer name in the Chooser exactly matches the AppleTalk name
listed on the network setup page.
4Check all connections. Check the cables on the back of the Macintosh workstation. Check the
cable between the printer and the workstation or network.
5If the job prints but the print quality is poor, refer to the printing tips provided on the drivers CD.
These tips can save you a lot of time. To download the document to your workstation, launch
the drivers CD, click Installer, select Documentation, and then click Install. Look in the Extras
folder for the document titled Optimize Printer Output.
