Chapter 8: Advanced Properties

The Advanced Properties section of the Web-based Utility is for users who have a thorough understanding of networks and network settings. Changing these settings can cause interruption of network communication and make the PrintServer cease functioning properly. To access the Advanced Properties, click the Advanced tab in the Web-based Utility.

The AppleTalk Page

AppleTalk is a network communications protocol which allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet. Typically only Macintoshes use AppleTalk, although other platforms can be made to use it with extra software.

AppleTalk Zones (if available) can be seen in the Chooser, the AppleTalk Control Panel, and the Network Browser. Once you have determined the AppleTalk Zone that you want the PrintServer to be associated with, enter its name in the field next to AppleTalk zone.

The Printer Object type can be obtained from the printer’s manufacturer. For each printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communicate. Choose either ASCII or Binary for each printer, according to the recommendation of the printer’s manufacturer.
