8 Configuring for AppleTalk Networks

The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) supports the AppleTalk protocol allowing Macintosh computers to print jobs to a Kodak printer simultaneously with jobs from computers using TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, and NetBEUI.

The NIC broadcasts AppleTalk information to computers on the network and automatically appears in the Chooser on workstations.

The NIC is compatible with Apple LaserWriter 8 printer drivers as well as the AdobePS and PhotoShop export module for Macintosh that came with the printer.

Printer and NIC Installation

Before you begin the configuration for AppleTalk, make sure you have completed the following steps:

1.Set up the printer, and install the printing software on the workstations that will be sending jobs to the printer. Refer to the QuickSetup card or the Operator’s Guide which is included on the CD for instructions on setting up the printer.

2.Install the NIC in the printer, and connect it to your Ethernet network.

3.Generate a NIC configuration page, and verify that the AppleTalk service on the NIC is enabled. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on installing and verifying the NIC configuration.

NOTE: The NIC will automatically disable AppleTalk if the printer is powered up when it is NOT connected to a functional network. You should be able to re-enable AppleTalk by power cycling the printer when it is connected to an AppleTalk network.

4. Enable Ethernet from the Macintosh’s control panel.
