EtherTalk, LocalTalk, and TokenTalk Configuration 3

Changing the printer’s name (optional)

There are three ways to change the printer’s name:

■Use the Apple Printer Utility; see “Changing the printer’s name: Apple Printer Utility” on page 28.

■With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software; see “Changing the printer’s name: PhaserLink Printer Management Software” on page 28.

■With a PC running Windows on a NetWare network, you can use the PhaserShare Administrator; see “Changing the printer’s EtherTalk/TokenTalk zone (optional)” on page 29.

The name selected here prints on the Startup Page and Configuration Page; the name also appears in the Chooser on a Macintosh. The name can be up to 31 characters long. It may contain any printable characters; however, the characters @ : = * are deleted from the name used on AppleTalk. A change is persistent across printer power cycles.

Notes regarding printer names

■If you have more than one printer in the same zone and you choose a name for one printer that is already assigned to another, the second printer registers itself on the network with the number 1 appended to the name. For example, if you attempt to assign a printer the name TekPhaser and another printer in the zone already has the same name, the printer you are naming appears on the network as TekPhaser-1.

■The added number is recalculated each time the printer is turned on. If you have more than one printer with the same name on the network, the printers’ names on the network depend on the order in which the printers are turned on. To avoid this confusion, it is recommended that you assign each printer on the network a unique name.

■The added number appears in the Chooser, on the printer’s front panel, and on the Startup Page. On the Configuration Page, the name, without the characters @ : = *, and with the added number, appears in the EtherTalk, LocalTalk, and TokenTalk areas. The Printer Name under General Information is the name as it was set, not as it appears in the Chooser.

840, 780, 360 specifications

Xerox has long been a pioneer in the field of printing and copying technology, and its 360, 780, and 840 models exemplify the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in the late 20th century. These machines are significant not just for their capabilities but also for how they transformed workplaces into efficient hubs for document management.

The Xerox 360, introduced in the 1970s, was notable for its innovative use of electrostatic transfer technology. This method allowed for the rapid and high-quality reproduction of documents, setting a new standard for both speed and clarity. With a printing speed of up to 120 copies per minute, the 360 was designed for high-volume environments, making it ideal for businesses that required efficient document distribution. Its ability to handle different media types, including transparencies, further expanded its utility.

Moving on to the Xerox 780, released shortly after the 360, this model built upon its predecessor's success by introducing additional features that catered to the evolving needs of users. One of the key advancements in the 780 was its ability to incorporate advanced finishing options, such as stapling and hole-punching, directly from the machine. This integration streamlined document production processes, reducing the need for manual tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The Xerox 780’s intelligent control panel also provided users with easy navigation and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

The Xerox 840 took another leap forward, focusing on integrating digital technology into the printing process. Introduced in the early 1980s, this model featured enhanced digital image processing capabilities, resulting in superior image quality and consistency. The 840 also supported duplex printing, allowing for automatic double-sided copies, which not only saved paper but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability practices as environmental concerns began to rise. The combination of these features made the 840 particularly well-suited for corporate environments where document quality and efficiency were paramount.

Overall, the Xerox 360, 780, and 840 series were landmark achievements in photocopying technology. Their advanced features, such as high-speed output, diverse media handling, and enhanced finishing options, established Xerox as a leader in the industry. These machines not only improved productivity but also set a precedent for future innovations, influencing the trajectory of printing technology for years to come. As businesses continue to evolve, the foundational technologies pioneered by these models remain integral to modern document management solutions.
