N O T E

The printer’s default zone is listed on the Configuration Page in the EtherTalk or TokenTalk field. For more information on the Configuration Page, see “The printer’s Configuration Page” on page 6.

4.A list of printers appears in the right portion of the Chooser; find your printer’s name in the list. The printer’s default name is listed on the Configuration Page (see “The printer’s Configuration Page” on page 6). If the name does not appear, check the cable connection between your printer and the network.

N O T E

It is possible for the Printer Name field on the Configuration Page to be blank. When the printer is powered up, it uses a default name and then checks to see that no other printer on the network has the same name. If enough printers with the same default name are present it can take several minutes for the printer to establish a unique name. If the name field is blank, wait a short time and reprint the Configuration Page.
