Setting up Apple Talk Printing
in Mac OS 9
The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS operating system.
It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the
EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk transport.
Your Print Server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can print from
any MacOS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly using an EtherTalk
connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.
NOTE: The Chooser name of a printer connected to one of the Print Server’s ports is the
same as its Port Name. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you will need to make sure that
every Port Name is unique among all of the network printers in your
AppleTalk zone. The Port Names shown in this manual are examples only.
Setting up the Print Server for AppleTalk Printing
To set up your Print Server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:
Select the Network tab and scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk protocol section
Change the IP Address on one of the computers on your network to 192.168.0.x, where
x is any number between 11-254
Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is the
default IP Address of the DP-301U
Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh
!
!
!
!
If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to specify which
zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print Server in the same zone
as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided into zones, the
AppleTalk Zone field should contain a single asterisk “*”
!
Note: Mac OS printing is supported for Postscript printers only!
