Changing your printerÕs name (optional)
The name selected here prints on the startup page and conÞguration page;
the name also appears in the Chooser on a Macintosh. The name can be up
to 31 characters long and may contain any printable characters except @ (at
sign) and : (colon). A change is persistent across printer power cycles.
Use the LaserWriter Utility to change the printerÕs name.

Locate the LaserWriter Utility on the Macintosh version of your
printerÕs network utilities diskette.

Double-click on the LaserWriter Utility icon.

Note
If you have more than one printer in the same zone and you
choose a name for one printer that is already assigned to another,
the second printer registers itself on the network with the number
Ò1Ó appended to the name. For example, if you attempt to assign
a printer the name ÒTekPhaserÓ and another printer in the zone
already has the same name, the printer you are naming will
appear on the network as ÒTekPhaser1.Ó
