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.
