Network Utilities for Phaser Color Printers
Printer name and AppleTalk zones
In general, the printer uses the same printer name on both LocalTalk and
EtherTalk ports. (The printer name is the name you see in the list of printers
when you select the Chooser.) If you change the name on one port, the
change affects both ports to keep them identical. This avoids confusion for
users because they always see the same printer name regardless of the port
selected.
If you connect the printer using both LocalTalk and Ethernet cables as part of
the same Apple internet, and if you set the EtherTalk zone to be the same as
the LocalTalk zone, the printer automatically modiÞes the name as seen on
the LocalTalk network to be different from the name as seen on the Ethernet
network. For example, the default printer name Phaser 480 would be
changed to Phaser 480 (via LocalTalk). (If necessary, the name is truncated
to the 32-character limit.) This automatic renaming allows users to
distinguish the high-speed Ethernet connection from the slower LocalTalk
connection.
