The Wireless Print Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and DDP protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the Wireless Print Server as a regular AppleTalk printer.

Software Requirements

Mac OS 9.x or newer.

AppleTalk Setup

1Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel > AppleTalk.

2Ensure that Ethernet is selected under AppleTalk Connection.

3Click Chooser. The Chooser panel opens.

4Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon. LaserWriter 8 uses the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing response time is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which increases network traffic and takes more printing time.

5Choose a PostScript printer from the list.

6Click Create and it searches for a PPD automatically.

7Select a printer description from the list.

8Click Select. Configuration is complete.

Printing

Printing with the Wireless Print Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to normal printing. Just select File > Print and choose the desired printer.
