Part 2a - Creating a Desktop Printer
(via AppleTalk)
1. Confirm that the Macintosh is properly
configured to communicate over
AppleTalk via Ethernet. Go to the Apple
menu, then to Control Panels and to
AppleTalk. In the AppleTalk window,
confirm that the “Connect via:” selection
is set to Ethernet. Close the control
panel. Click Save if prompted to save
settings.
2. Make sure that all steps in the Hardware
Setup section of this manual have been
followed. Follow the Macintosh
installation steps in Part 1 of this section.
In Step 9, select “AppleTalk” as the
connection method and click “Setup
Printer.”
Due to potential incompatibilities between Apple’s Desktop Printer Utility and certain AppleTalk networks,
GCC does not recommend using the Apple Desktop Printer Utility to set up the Elite 21 Series printer over
AppleTalk. As a result, the Elite 21 Series software uses the Chooser to set up the printer over AppleTalk
rather than the Desktop Printer Utility. Follow these steps to setup your printer over an AppleTalk
connection.
