LevelOne FPS-2101TXU User Manual

 

AppleTalk 

The LevelOne Printer Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and 
DDP protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the 
LevelOne Printer Server as a regular AppleTalk printer. Configuring and printing in the 
EtherTalk environment operates completely as usual.  

The PSTool program has been provided specifically for the Macintosh environment, to 
allow easy configuration of your LevelOne Printer Server. However, it is not necessary to 
install and use this program for basic operation. 

System 7.x OS or newer. 

1.  Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel. 

2. Click 

Network. 

3. Ensure 

that 

EtherTalk is selected under AppleTalk Connection.  

4. Click 

Chooser. The Chooser panel will open. 

5.  Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon. 

LaserWriter 8 makes use of the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing 
response time is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which 
increases network traffic and takes more printing time. 

6.  Select a LevelOne Printer Server from the printer list by clicking on the appropriate 

name. The LevelOne Printer Server’s name is recorded on a label on the bottom of the 
LevelOne Printer Server as "Server Name". This name consists of 8 digits and/or 
numbers. 

7.  Click on the Close box.  

Configuration is now complete. 

 

Printing with the LevelOne Printer Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to 
normal printing.  

For example, select a document that you want to print and then select File - Print. Chose 
the desired printer.
