7.8 AppleTalk Configuration
Double Click “AppleTalk” icon and the AppleTalk configuration window will pop-up.
AppleTalk is a data communication protocol often used by Macintoshes. The printer server can
use these parameters to join the AppleTalk network and share the printer to other AppleTalk
workstations. You have to setup the “Zone Name” and “Printer Type” for each printer port of this
printer server.
Zone Name: Printer server has to join zones of AppleTalk before it can be shared to other
workstations. Only workstations in the same zone can share the printer. If you want to share the
printer to all workstations in all Zones, you should enter only “*” in the “Zone Name” field.
Printer Type, the type of printer attached to each printer port. You can get the printer type from the
manufacturer of the printer.
* Please refer to printer’s user manual for printer type, if default “LaserWriter” does not work.
