Data streams
Data streams are handled the same as described with the
Ethernet interface above.
Color specification
Color specification is handled the same as described with the
Ethernet interface above.
PC online interface
There is a third-party interface that allows a PC to be connected
directly to a 4890 in an online configuration. Contact the Xerox
Connection or your site representative for connectivity and
application software information for this configuration.
Connectivity options for Macintosh workstations
To determine the appropriate connectivity option for your
Macintosh workstation environment, consider the interface
option you use and the data streams to be output by your
software applications.
Interface options
Macintosh PCs are generally connected to an AppleTalk network.
They may also be configured to connect to Ethernet. The type
of LAN you use in your facility depends on the number of
Macintosh PCs you want to connect to the 4890. If you want
only a few of your Macintosh PCs to be capable of sending
documents to the 4890, then an Ethernet connection may be
more cost effective. If you have a large number of Macintosh
PCs in your facility and you require all of them to be capable of
transmitting to the printer, it is less expensive to use AppleTalk
and convert to Ethernet through a communication module.
AppleTalk network interface
The standard Macintosh LAN configuration is through AppleTalk,
and most networked Macintosh PCs use AppleTalk to
communicate with a printer.
