Features of the Network Interface Card with AppleTalk

AppleTalk protocol may be used by Macintosh, Novell, and Windows NT systems.

NOTE: Printing in raster mode using AppleTalk is possible from a Macintosh only.

From the Macintosh, the Network Interface Card operates as an AppleTalk node on Ethernet. The printer emulates a LaserWriter. In PostScript mode, select the printer from the Chooser, and print to it as if printing to a LaserWriter. In Raster mode, select the printer from the export module, and print to it.

For non-Macintosh systems using AppleTalk, only PostScript printing is supported. Raster mode printing can only be accomplished with IPX or TCP/IP print queues.

The following are features of the Network Interface Card when it is used with AppleTalk:

Operates as an AppleTalk node on Ethernet.

Emulates a LaserWriter in PostScript mode. Advertises itself as a Kodak_Raster device in Raster mode.

Supports both EtherTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Operates in multizone networks.
