AppleTalk Configuration
To configure the NetportExpress print server for AppleTalk
1 At the Windows workstation where you installed Netport Man-
ager, start that program.
2 Select the print server whose Device ID matches the number of
the NetportExpress print server you have installed.
3 Click the Configure button.
4 Select AppleTalk.
5 Select a zone name for the NetportExpress print server in the
AppleTalk Zone field.
6 Click on a Port tab.
7 Type a Chooser Name so the printer will appear in the Chooser on
Macintosh workstations.
8 Identify the Printer Type where the print server is connected. This
must match the printer driver name shown in the Chooser. The
default LaserWriter* will work for any PostScript* printer.
9 Select the Font Group that resides on the printer. Default is 35.
Note: If your printer supports bi-directional communication
capability, the default will be “automatically set by printer.”
10 Click OK to complete the set up.
To set up a workstation to print
1 At an Apple workstation, open Chooser.

NetportExpress print server. If you’re using a PostScript printer,
you can select either LaserWriter or the PostScript printer icon for
your printer.
3 If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk Zone list, select the
zone you specified when setting up the print server.
4 Select the Chooser name for the NetportExpress print server you
want the Macintosh workstation to use.
5 Close the Chooser window.
The NetportExpress print server can service print jobs submitted by
Macintosh* workstations connected to an Ethernet or token ring net-
work.
To print using LocalTalk*, connect the print server through a router to
an Ethernet segment.
