Viewing and changing communication settings
If you don’t need all of the printer’s communication settings for your network
environment, you can turn unnecessary settings off with the Apple Printer
Utility.
1 On the printer, make sure the configuration switch is in the right-hand (
M
) position.
2 On the computer, open the Apple Printer Utility.
3Click the triangle to open the Communication Configuration category.
You see a list of communication settings options.
4 Open the Port Configuration category.
5 In the panel that appears, turn off settings you don’t use.
For example, if you know that the printer will never receive an AppleTalk
message over the network, you can turn off the AppleTalk interface and stop
the printer from sending out unnecessary AppleTalk packets.
6 To send the changes to the printer, click Send.
This implements the new settings. You can alert users about the changes.
