Utilities For Printers in Raster Mode
Kodak Raster Printer Utility— Macintosh utility used to rename
the printer in Raster mode. This is the printer name as it appears
when using the specific printer’s export module in conjunction
with Adobe Photoshop.
AppleTalk Zone Default: * (Physical Zone assigned to cable segment)
We recommend that you use the default zone. The only time you
would use a different zone name is if the default physical zone
were subdivided into logical zones.
If there are routers on your network, the printer is assigned to the
default zone named by the router.
Each time the printer initializes, it attempts to acquire the zone
name that is defined in the printer's nonvolatile RAM. If it cannot
find it, the printer is placed in a default zone. If there are routers
on your network, the printer acquires its zone name from the
router.
The printer must be operating in PostScript mode when you
change the zone. Once the procedure is complete, the zone is
applicable for both PostScript and Raster modes.
Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS—Utility which renames the printer zone
in PostScript mode. This is the zone that the printer appears in as
a PostScript printer in the Chooser or similar PC/AppleTalk Zone-
Name window. Edit the file to modify the zone parameter, save
the file, and download the file to the printer.
Edit the file so that your zone name is substituted for
“YourZoneNameGoesHere.” No other parts of the file should be
altered. Be careful not to insert any nonprinting characters in this
file, or errors will occur during the download. If there are syntax
errors in the file, the printer returns an error message through the
LaserWriter Font Utility and the zone name are not changed.
Changing the Printer’s Zone 1. Make sure the printer is in PostScript mode.
2. Open the Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS file on the Macintosh
Printer Driver installation disk.
