Appletalk Protocol Compatibility
Q: What is Appletalk Protocol Compatibility?
A: Appletalk Protocol is the “language” used by devices
within an Apple network. One of the features of Apple-
talk is that devices can be “shared” (accessed by multi-
ple users). This protocol is not dependent upon the
type of topology (physical connections) used in the
network.

puters and printer.
Q: How can I tell if my printer is Appletalk Compatible?
A: A sure way is to contact the printer manufacturer. A
quick way to tell is what kind of icon is used to access
the printer. If the Apple Laserwriter icon is used to
access the printer, it is an Appletalk compatible printer.
Most 3
rd
party Appletalk printer icons will have a little
cable hooking into the icon. It will also have the let-
ters “AT” after the icon name. Another way is to click
on the printer icon. If the printer name shows up on
the right hand side of the Chooser window, it is an
Appletalk compatible printer. If you are requested to
choose either the printer or modem port, it is a serial
printer and cannot be shared.
