Notes and Restrictions for Using EtherTalk
This section describes notes and restrictions to observe when using EtherTalk.
îš„Printer Name
The system is set so that printer names used for identification by clients are not
duplicated on the network. When assigning a new printer name, if the same printer
name already exists on the network, the system automatically changes the printer
name when the machine is started.
<Rules for changing printer name>
Printer names are changed according to the following rules:
z
Names of 31 characters or less
Adds a number to the end of the printer name. If the same printer name with the
number added already exists on the network, increases the added number by one.
z
Names of 32 characters
Changes the last character of the printer name to a number. If the same printer name
with the last character changed already exists on the network, increases the
changed number by one.
If the printer name is changed, the previous printer name set before the change is
displayed when browsing [Protocols] on the [Properties] tab of CentreWare Internet
Services. However, since the changed printer name is registered on the network,
clients can browse the machine by using the changed printer name. Turning the
machine off and then on after changing the printer name activates the machine with
the changed printer name. If the same printer name already exists on the network,
the printer name is changed according to the rules described above when the
machine is started.
Assign a printer name so as not to duplicate other printer names on the network.
îš„Zone Name
Zone names can be set in [Protocols] on the [Properties] tab of CentreWare Internet
Services. However, if the zone name set does not exist on the network to which the
machine is connected, the zone name is automatically changed to the default name.
To set a zone name, use the zone name that already exists on the network to which
the machine is connected.
Notes and Restrictions for Using Bonjour
This section describes notes and restrictions to observe when using Bonjour.
îš„Supported Environment for Bonjour
Bonjour is available on Printer Setup Tool (Print Center, Printer Setup Utility) of Mac
OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.11, 10.5, or 10.6, or Macintosh computers that use Safari. The
Discovery feature of Bonjour is available only within the same subnet.
îš„Printer Name
z
If you change a printer name or a host name that is already assigned, documents
may be printed by a printer that is not selected.
z
If a printer name or a host name is duplicated on the same network, one of the
duplicated names is automatically changed by adding a number to avoid duplication.
