Step 1 Macintosh Configuration

TROY XCD print servers are compatible with the Apple LaserWriter 8 drivers as well as drivers supplied by many printer manufacturers (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If none of these drivers is installed on your Macintosh, you must install one of them from diskette following the instructions of the manufacturer.

Before using a TROY XCD print server, you must first enable Ethernet or LocalTalk (if you want to use the XConnect II LocalTalk option) from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If Ethernet is not selectable or the Network Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network Installer software to add these capabilities.

Step 2 Printing

Once the print server is installed powered on, the print server service name (default is XCD_xxxxxx_pp_AT, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address and "pp" is P1 for the parallel port, S1 for the serial port, and P2 or

S2 for the XConnect 100 second parallel and serial ports; for example, XCD_009C53_P1_AT) should appear in the Chooser. Note that the serial ports will not appear if they are set for console mode operation.

To select the TROY XCD print server, open the Chooser from the Apple Menu on the Macintosh, and then click on the LaserWriter icon (if necessary, select the appropriate AppleTalk zone from the Network Control Panel). Then click on the TROY XCD print server name and close the
