EtherTalk and TokenTalk Configuration

EtherTalk and TokenTalk Configuration

Setting up the Macintosh Ethernet port for EtherTalk

1.
From the Apple menu, select Control Panels > AppleTalk.
2.
From the Connect via menu, select Ethernet built-in.

Setting up the printer for EtherTalk or TokenTalk

1. Print the Configuration Page. It reports the printer's default name, which you need
for EtherTalk and TokenTalk configurations. For information on printing a
Configuration Page, see The printer's Configuration Page on page 2.
2.
Verify that the printer is in the Chooser. See Finding the printer's name in the
Chooser on page 28.
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 29 or
Changing the printer's EtherTalk/TokenTalk zone (optional) on page 30.

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.
Note
The printer's default zone is listed on the Configuration Page in the EtherTalk or
TokenTalk field. For more information on the Configuration Page, see The
printer's Configuration Page on page 2.
4.
A list of printers appears in the right portion of the Chooser; find your printer's name.
The printer's default name is listed on the Configuration Page (see The printer's
Configuration Page on page 2). If the name does not appear, see Troubleshooting on
page 31.
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.
