Verifying Setup

If you have an Ethernet connection, skip to chapter 5 for setup and
verification details. This section covers LocalTalk, parallel, and
serial setup verifications.

Verifying a LocalTalk Setup

If you have a Macintosh G4 or iMac, you will not be able to print via
LocalTalk without an Ethernet to LocalTalk adaptor.
To verify your LocalTalk setup
1. Turn on your printer and Macintosh.
2. Verify that the Macintosh is set to communicate using LocalTalk.
• For operating systems prior to 7.5, go to Control Panels:
Network. Select LocalTalk.
• For operating systems 7.5 and later, go to Control Panels:
AppleTalk. From the Connect via menu, select Printer Port.
3. Verify that the printer's LocalTalk interface is enabled and
configured properly. See "Interface Control" in chapter 6 and
"XANTÉ Command Center" in chapter 3.
Before using your printer, install and configure the Adobe PostScript
printer driver and your printer's PPD. See "Xinstaller" and "Adobe
PostScript Printer Drivers" in chapter 3.
