AppleTalk
The following steps summarize how to connect your
Silentwriter to an AppleTalk network.
1.
Select the network.
2. Select the printer.
These are described in detail below.
Select the Network
You may use the Silentwriter printer with either
EtherTalk or LocalTalk networks. Your Macintosh is
already configured to connect to LocalTalk networks.
While EtherTalk can run up to eight times faster than
LocalTalk, you must install an EtherTalk-compatible
network card in your computer to connect to EtherTalk
networks.
Before you begin you will need to know the printer’s
name. If you are using EtherTalk, you will need to know
the printer’s EtherTalk zone. This information is
included on the configuration page. See “Print a
Configuration Page” on page 2-13.
WARNING! AppleTalk depends on unique printer
names and AppleTalk zones to prevent conflicts in the
network. Check with the system administrator before
making any changes in the printer name or AppleTalk
zone.
