Apple EMac Handbuch

    Getting to Know Your eMac

 

Connecting to a Printer

To use a printer with your eMac, follow the instructions that came with the printer to 
install required software and connect the printer. Many printers connect via a USB 
cable; others are accessed via a network connection, such as Ethernet. For more 
information about your USB ports, see “Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on page 29. For more 
information about a network or wireless connection, see “Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on 
page 29 and “AirPort Extreme Wireless Internet and Networking” on page 27.

After connecting and setting up your printer, use the Print & Fax pane of System 
Preferences to select your printer for use. If you’re connecting to a printer via a network, 
you may need to know the network name or address of the printer to select it. If you 
have a USB printer connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station, and you have an 
AirPort Extreme Card installed in your eMac, you can connect to the printer and print 
wirelessly.

Open System Preferences and click the Print & Fax icon.

Click the Set Up Printers button.

Click the Add button.

Choose the type of connection for your printer (for example, USB, AppleTalk, and so 
on).

To add a USB printer connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station, choose Rendezvous 
from the pop-up menu.

Select or enter your printer information and click Add.
