AppleTalk
MarkVision for Macintosh
resides on the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD.
The MarkNet print server works automatically with AppleTalk networks. You
simply connect the power and the network cables, and you’re up and running.
However, if you would like to use a zone and printer name different from the
defaults you can use MarkVision for Macintosh to change these settings.
Each Macintosh user on the AppleTalk network who wants to use the printer
should do the following steps.
1 In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 driver.
2 If you have a routed network, there is a list of zones you can select from.
The new printer is in the default zone for the network. Select this zone. If
you don’t know which zone to select, look on the network setup page
under AppleTalk for Zone.
3 Select the new printer. If you don’t know which printer to select, look on
the network setup page under AppleTalk. The default name of the printer
is listed beside Name.
4 Click Create.
A PPD describes the printer or
printer family. For example,
the PPD lists which options
are valid for the printer.
5 If you are prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description), you
need to install the proper PPD from the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities
CD. To do this, launch the CD, click Lexmark Installer, select the
appropriate PPD for your printer, and then click Install. Go back to the
Chooser and try to create the new printer again.
6 Look for an icon to appear in the Chooser next to the printer name. This
means you have successfully set up the new printer. A new desktop
printer icon is placed on your desktop, too.
7 In the Chooser, select the printer you want to use now and close the
Chooser window.
