AppleTalk Entity Window
Open the AppleTalk Entity window by selecting the AppleTalk Entity button in the LAN Card Configuration window. The AppleTalk Entity window allows you to see and modify AppleTalk Entities for the selected printer.
The two default entities are “LaserWriter” and “ITC_Responder.” AppleTalk uses both entities to control communications with printers on the network.
The “LaserWriter” entity is used to communicate between the Macintosh with the LaserWriter driver and the LAN card. If the “LaserWriter” entity is deleted or changed, the printer will not appear in the Chooser window under LaserWriter or LaserWriter 8.
WARNING! Delete the “LaserWriter” entity only if you do not plan to use the Silentwriter with AppleTalk networks.
The “ITC_Responder” entity is used by NEC 1765 software. Only LAN cards with this entity respond to requests from the NEC 1765 software. Change or delete this name if you do not want the Silentwriter to appear in the printer list in the Printer Administration window. For example, change or delete the “ITC_Responder” entity to prevent users from using the NEC 1765 to modify LAN card parameters.
If you have changed or deleted the “LaserWriter” or “ITC_Responder” entities but need to view the Silentwriter in the Chooser or modify the LAN card parameters using the NEC 1765 software, follow the instructions to restore the entity types to factory defaults. See “Restoring Factory LAN Card Settings” on page
