7 - AppleTalk Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the EPS. The following 

sections cover print configuration methods for AppleTalk hosts. 

NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See 

the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.

NOTE: Macintoshes that do not support EtherTalk will need either an Ether-

net card or a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router to use the EPS. 

7.1 Bitronics

The EPS advertises its printer as a LaserWriter. Therefore, printing from a Macintosh is only 

possible with a PostScript printer and bi-directional communication between the EPS and that 

printer. 

NOTE: MacOS 8.1 can also print via LPD. See the Print Server Reference Manual 

located on CD-ROM for configuration instructions.

The EPS supports the Bitronics interface, an extension to the standard Centronics interface. 

Printers that support Bitronics allow bi-directional communication via the parallel port. To enable 

Bitronics on an EPS parallel port, use the Define Port n Bitronics Enabled command.
