The TROY PocketPro 100S supports the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk).
This capability allows Macintosh computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with jobs from Windows,
UNIX, NetWare, and other computers.
TROY print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a shareable printer node on an AppleTalk
Phase 2 network. The TROY print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network, and
automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each Macintosh. Application programs (such as
Microsoft Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc.) can print without modification or special software on the Macintosh.
Identify the printer to which the print server is connected, and install the printer driver.
1. Verify that Ethernet is enabled from the Network Control Panel or AppleTalk Control Panel.
2. At a Macintosh workstation, from the Apple menu, open the Chooser.
3. If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk zone list, select the necessary zone.
4. Click on the icon for the printer driver you are going to use. If you have a Postscript printer, you can use the
LaserWriter driver.
5. Select the print server name (the default is TWC_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where "xxxxxx" are the last six digits of
the Ethernet address.).
6. Close the Chooser. You can now print to the printer using any standard Macintosh application program.
