7 - AppleTalk Configuration
The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. The
following sections cover print conÞguration methods for AppleTalk hosts.
NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.
NOTE: Macintoshes that do not support EtherTalk will need either an Ether-
net card or a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router to use the MPS.
7.1 Bitronics
The MPS advertises its printer as a LaserWriter. Therefore, printing from a Macintosh is
only possible with a PostScript printer and bi-directional communication between the
MPS and that printer.
NOTE: MacOS 8.1 can also print via LPD. See the Print Server Reference Manual
located on CD-ROM for configuration instructions.
The MPS supports the Bitronics interface, an extension to the standard Centronics
interface. Printers that support Bitronics allow bi-directional communication via the
parallel port. To enable Bitronics on the MPS parallel port, use the
DeÞne Port 1
Bitronics Enabled command.
