Apple/Macintosh Environments

9.4.3Default AppleTalk/EtherTalk Parameters

Parameter change methods listed here presume the use of Utilities for Macintosh.

IMPORTANT: Verify that the printers are operating properly on your network using the default parameters before you change the NIC configuration parameters.

Check, for example, the following:

Does the printer (in PostScript mode) show up in Chooser under its default name?

Can you print files from a Macintosh when the printer is in PostScript mode?

Can you export files from a Macintosh when the printer is in raster mode?

AppleTalk Name: “KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” is the last 6 digits of the NIC's Ethernet Hardware Address. Use the Namer utility to set up a more descriptive name.

AppleTalk Zone: “*” The NIC will automatically discover the default

AppleTalk zone name for the subnet on which it physically resides.

To change, follow the procedure in the NIC Config file.

AppleTalk Phase: “2”. To change, follow the procedure in the NIC Config file.

9.4.4NIC Configuration Test Print

IMPORTANT: The pertinent 10/100 NIC Configuration Test Print is NOT the test print generated from the printer's front control panel. This test print can be generated ONLY on printers in PostScript mode.

Obtain the pertinent (functional) NIC parameters by generating a NIC Configuration Test Print. To do so, set the mode switches on the NIC (D1 Down, D2 Up) and then power cycle the printer.
