Macintosh

®

(AppleTalk)

The Wireless Print Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and DDP
protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the Wireless Print
Server as a regular AppleTalk printer.

Software Requirements

Mac OS 9.x or newer.

AppleTalk Setup

1

Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel > AppleTalk.

2

Ensure that Ethernet is selected under AppleTalk Connection.

3

Click Chooser. The Chooser panel opens.

4

Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon.
LaserWriter 8 uses the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing response time
is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which increases
network traffic and takes more printing time.

5

Choose a PostScript printer from the list.

6

Click Create and it searches for a PPD automatically.

7

Select a printer description from the list.

8

Click Select. Configuration is complete.

Printing

Printing with the Wireless Print Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to
normal printing. Just select File > Print and choose the desired printer.

Advanced Setup and Management

In a mixed Windows computer/Macintosh environment, you can use the Web-based utility
to configure the Wireless Print Server.
