Macintosh (AppleTalk)
The Wireless Print Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and DDP
protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the Wireless Print
Server as a regular AppleTalk printer.

Software Requirements

Mac OS 9.x or newer.

AppleTalk Setup

Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel > AppleTalk.
1
Ensure that Ethernet is selected under AppleTalk Connection.
2
Click Chooser. The Chooser panel opens.
3
Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon.
4
LaserWriter 8 uses the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing response time
is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which increases
network traffic and takes more printing time.
Choose a PostScript printer from the list.
5
Click Create and it searches for a PPD automatically.
6
Select a printer description from the list.
7
Click Select. Configuration is complete.

Printing

Printing with the Wireless Print Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to
normal printing. Just select File > Print and choose the desired printer.

In a mixed Windows computer/Macintosh environment, you can use the Web-based utility
to configure the Wireless Print Server.
