Network Speed, on page 42
The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using
if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then
recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and
Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for
network printing are supported. If Autodetect Printer Type is disabled,
the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the print
server. For Epson InkJets it would be "EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it
would be "DeskWriter". If the print server does not recognize the
connected printer the default setting, "LaserWriter" will be used as printer
type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used with all
PostScript printers.
To enable Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server's Web
interface and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View |
Macintosh | Auto Detect Printer Type | Yes.
See the Help pages in the print server's Web interface for details.
In the absence of an IP address management mechanism such as DHCP,
the print server will receive a temporary IP address automatically over
AutoIP, a method which enables the host to automatically take a linklocal
IPv4 address. AutoIP is supported by Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and Mac
OS version 8.5 or higher.
With the Network Speed parameter you can manually specify the speed at
which you will send and receive network packages. You can change the
Network Speed setting to correspond to the type of network you are using
(10 or 100 Mbit).
To change the Network Speed in an Ethernet network, log in to the print
server's internal Web pages and click Admin | General Settings =>
