Verifying printing from a Macintosh

Selecting the printer via the Chooser

3-6 Phaser 600 Color Printer
This procedure applies to both operating system version 6.0.7 (and higher) and
system 7.0 (and higher).
Note If the Mac is served by an Ethernet network or by both a LocalTalk
and Ethernet network, ensure that the Mac's proper network port is
enabled. Click and pull down on the Apple menu (in the upper-left
corner of the screen) and select the item Control Panels. Click on the
control panel item Network. From its dialog box, select the
appropriate network port.
1. Turn on the printer and the Macintosh, if they are turned off.
2. With the mouse, click and hold on the Macintosh's Apple menu (in the
upper-left corner of the screen). Select the Chooser from the Apple's
pull-down menu.
3.
The Chooser dialog box is now displayed on the screen. On the left
side of the dialog box are icons representing the printer drivers
installed on the Macintosh. Select the driver icon Phaser 600, by
clicking on it once. If the host and the printer are a part of a zone, you
should first select the printer driver and then pick the zone that the
printer resides in. The configuration page lists the zone the printer is
currently installed in.
4.
Displayed on the right side of the dialog box are a list of printers that
the selected driver will print to. Select the newly installed printer
Phaser 600. (If, for example, a Phaser 600 printer is already on the
network with the name Phaser 600, then the newly installed printer
will be named Phaser 600-1.)
5. Displayed on the bottom of the dialog box is the background printing
option. Click the OFF button to turn it off. (If desired, this can be
turned back on after the printer verification.)
6. Close the Chooser by clicking on the small box in the upper-left corner
of the dialog box; the Phaser 600 is now your chosen printer.
You have now verified that the printer is on the network and is communicating
with the Macintosh.
