Using the Elite XL with a Macintosh 3-25

Naming the Elite XL

If there is more than one Elite XL on the network, assign each printer a unique name.
If you do not assign a unique name to each printer, a number is automatically added
to the duplicate name in order to distinguish the printers from one another.

Note:

If you change the name of a printer on the network system, every user on the

network system must select the new printer name in the Chooser. Refer to page 3-4 or
3-16, for information about choosing a printer driver.

To name the Elite XL:

1.

Select the Elite XL in the Chooser.

Click the LaserWriter 8 or Elite XL (7.1.2) icon in the left scroll box and
click the name of the printer in the “Select a LaserWriter” scroll box.

2.

Double-click the LaserWriter Utility icon.

(The LaserWriter Utility is located on the startup disk in the Elite

XL

Folder.) The LaserWriter Utility will open and four menus will be dis-
played in the menu bar.

3.

Choose Name Printer… from the Utilities menu.

The “Rename the chosen printer” dialog box appears displaying the current
name of the printer.

4.

Type the new name of the printer in the space provided.

Names must be at least 2 characters in length, but no more than 31 characters.
Names cannot contain a colon (:), an asterisk (*), or parentheses.
