Introduction

This chapter covers configuration for the EtherTalk, Novell Print
Server, and Line Printer protocols on the printer's Ethernet interface
using printer front panel menus, XANTÉ Command Center, and
specific network software.

EtherTalk Network Configuration

Ethernet is a multiple protocol medium that allows you to run
several network protocols concurrently. An EtherTalk network
allows you to run the AppleTalk protocol on a physical base which
can be three to five times faster than a LocalTalk network.
Note: Typically, only Macintosh computers are installed on an
EtherTalk network. If you have PCs operating in an
EtherTalk network, see the documentation that came with
your PC EtherTalk interface.
The following steps are required to set up your XANTÉ printer on an
EtherTalk network. Chapter 2 covers step 1, chapter 6 covers step 2,
and this section covers steps 3 and 4.
1. Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the
Ethernet port.
2. Enable the printer's EtherTalk interface, if necessary.
3. Select the Apple menu: Control Panel: AppleTalk. Then,
select Ethernet in the Connect via drop-down menu.
4. Change the EtherTalk Zone name, if necessary.

Select the EtherTalk Phase 2 Driver

Older Macintosh systems (OS 8.0 and earlier) may use the
EtherTalk Phase 2 driver. Your printer supports EtherTalk Phase 2
on an EtherTalk network.
