Xerox 840 User Manual

3

Before you begin the configuration, complete the following steps:

■

Your printer should be set up, connected to the network, and turned on.  
See your printer’s user documentation for information about setting up 
and turning on the printer.  For information about connecting the printer to 
the network, see Chapter 2, “PhaserShare Series B Network Interfaces”.

■

Install the Tektronix driver for your printer on every Macintosh and PC 
that will send print jobs to the printer.  For details on driver installation, see 
your printer’s user documentation.           

The printer’s AppleTalk connection works with Macintosh system software, 7.0, 7.1, 
7.5, 7.6, 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2.

The configuration procedure for LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk consists of two 
simple steps:

Print the Configuration Page.  It reports the printer’s default name, which 
you need for EtherTalk and TokenTalk configurations.  For information on 
printing a Configuration Page, see “The printer’s Configuration Page” on 
page 6.

Verify that the printer is in the Chooser.  See “Finding the printer’s name in 
the Chooser” on page 26. 

■

If the printer is not in the Chooser, see “Troubleshooting” on page 30.  

■

If the printer is in the Chooser, you may want to change the printer’s 
name or zone.  See “Changing the printer’s name (optional)” on 
page 27 and “Changing the printer’s EtherTalk/TokenTalk zone 
(optional)” on page 29.   

The default language for the LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk ports is 
PostScript.  Refer to your printer’s user documentation for information about 
changing the printer’s default language.
