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 specifi 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 pr inter 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.
