EtherTalk Configuration
Setting Up the Macintosh Ethernet Port for
EtherTalk
1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels. Select AppleTalk.
2. From the Connect via menu, select Ethernet built-in.
Setting Up the Printer for EtherTalk
1. Print the Configuration Page (see page 2). Locate the printer’s default name.
2. Verify that the printer is in the Chooser. See below.
3. When you have located the printer in the Chooser, you may want to change the
printer’s name or zone. See Changing the Printer’s Name (Optional) on page 20 or
Changing the Printer’s EtherTalk Zone (Optional) on page 21.
Finding the Printer’s Name in the Chooser
1. From the Apple menu, select Chooser.
2. In the upper-left corner of the Chooser, click the LaserWriter 8 icon. If the
LaserWriter 8 icon is not in the Chooser, you need to install the printer driver.
3. If a list of zones appears in the lower-left portion of the Chooser, select the proper
zone.
4. In the right portion of the Chooser, find your printer’s name in the list of printers. If
the name does not appear, see page 21.
Note
The printer’s default zone is listed on the Configuration Page (see page 2) in the
EtherTalk field.
Note
It is possible for the Printer Name field on the Configuration Page to be blank.
When the printer is turned on, 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 Printer Name field on the Configuration Page is
blank, wait a short time and reprint the Configuration Page.
