Xerox Phaser 540 Leaflet

A zone is a logical grouping of network devices, such as an engineering or 
marketing zone.  Ask your network administrator which zone your printer 
should be in.  

A network needs to be able to uniquely identify any device, so you must 
make sure the zone on EtherTalk is different from the zone on LocalTalk.  If 
you make the EtherTalk zone the same as the LocalTalk zone, the printer 
automatically makes the name seen on the LocalTalk network different from 
the name seen on the EtherTalk network. For example, it would change the 
default printer name 

Phaser 540 to Phaser 540 (via LocalTalk). This 

automatic renaming keeps the printer operational regardless of zone or 
name conflicts and lets you distinguish the high–speed Ethernet connection 
from the slower LocalTalk connection.

Use one of the following files depending on your computer type.  

With devices grouped into zones, you can use the 

Chooser to see all the 

printers in any zone.

To designate the EtherTalk zone, use the Set EtherTalk Zone utility file.  You 
will have to edit this file.  You must have a copy of TeachText (or SimpleText 
for System 7.1 and higher) installed on your hard disk to do this editing.  If 
you don’t have a copy already installed, copy TeachText (or SimpleText) from 
the same Apple system software diskettes you last used to upgrade your 
computer.

If you have both LocalTalk and Ethernet cables as part of the same Apple 
Internet, it is recommended that you connect only the Ethernet cable.  There 
is no benefit to making both LocalTalk and Ethernet connections to the 
printer if both cables are part of the same Apple Internet.  See the Phaser 540 
Color Printer User Manual for information on printer behavior in this 
configuration.
