Configuring the printer for network operation
After you have completed setting the printer up on a network, you should configure the
printer to accept print jobs through the EtherTalk port. The printer receives print data
through the EtherTalk port which is physically connected to the Ethernet network by one
of the printer's network interface connectors (10Base-2 or 10Base-T).
The printer is capable of receiving both PostScript and PCL print jobs simultaneously.
However, as configured at the factory, the printer is set to receive only PostScript. If you
will be sending only PostScript jobs to the EtherTalk port you can skip this section. If,
however, you will be sending both PostScript and PCL or just PCL to the EtherTalk port,
you will need to reconfigure some of the printer's control panel menus.
