AppleTalk

The following steps summarize how to connect your Silentwriter to an AppleTalk network.

1.Select the network.

2.Select the printer.

These are described in detail below.

Select the Network

You may use the Silentwriter printer with either EtherTalk or LocalTalk networks. Your Macintosh is already configured to connect to LocalTalk networks. While EtherTalk can run up to eight times faster than LocalTalk, you must install an EtherTalk-compatible network card in your computer to connect to EtherTalk networks.

Before you begin you will need to know the printer’s name. If you are using EtherTalk, you will need to know the printer’s EtherTalk zone. This information is included on the configuration page. See “Print a Configuration Page” on page 2-13.

WARNING! AppleTalk depends on unique printer names and AppleTalk zones to prevent conflicts in the network. Check with the system administrator before making any changes in the printer name or AppleTalk zone.
