AXIS 540+/AXIS 560

On MacOS 9.1 or older, basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed simply by 
opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.

You can change the default name of your print server or any of default 
parameters by editing the print server’s config file. To access the config file 

from a Macintosh, you can use:

•

any Web browser with Javascript enabled

•

FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie

In order to use any of these methods, you must assign an IP address to the print 
server as described in “Setting Parameters” on page 36.

The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version of 
LaserWriter printer driver you are using.

•

The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard PostScript 
driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer specific features.

•

The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer descriptions. 
This gives you full control over any features your printer might have.

The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if 
you enable 

Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then recognize Epson 

and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet 
printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for network printing are supported. 
Without the Autodetect Printer Type function, the AppleTalk printer type has to 
be specified manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be 
"EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server 
does not recognize the connected printer, the default setting "LaserWriter" will 
be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used 
with all PostScript printers. 

To enable 

Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server’s Web interface 

and select 

Detect Printer Type | Yes. 

See the 

Help pages in the print server’s Web interface for details.

Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:

1. Select 

Chooser from the Apple menu. 

2. Click the 

LaserWriter icon.

3. If your network has more than one zone, click on the zone you want. (If your 

network does not have any zones, this box will not appear.)
