Subject: How To Connect Epson PostScript Printers Into An AppleTalk Network
Date: 10/9/92
Page(s): 1 of 1
PSB No: P-0092
Originator: SDS
This bulletin provides information on how to interface Epson laser printers with an
Epson PostScript’ Card to an Apple Macintosh
2
using Apple LocalTalk
3
and the
BridgePort
4
by Extended Systems.
Connecting a printer to an Apple Macintosh can be difficult if the printer does not
have an AppleTalk interface. The Epson Action Laser II and EPL-8000 laser
printers with the Epson PostScript Card installed do not have built-in AppleTalk
interfaces and as such can be difficult to connect to an AppleTalk network.
Extended Systems has a solution to this problem. It is the Bridgeport 2679B. This
printer sharing device allows you to connect a PostScript printer to an AppleTalk
network and two DOS-based PCs. The Bridgeport has an AppleTalk port that
allows connection to either a stand-alone Macintosh or to an AppleTalk network via
Apple LocalTalk. This device also has a serial and a parallel port for connecting
two DOS-based PCs. The Bridgeport will monitor each of the input ports and route
data that it receives to the printer.
The Bridgeport 2697B was tested from an AppleTalk network to an Action Laser II,
an EPL-8000 with the Epson PostScript Card, and to an Epson EPL-7500. All three
installations worked flawlessly and the printed output was exactly as expected. This
device requires that the Apple LaserWriter? driver Version 5.2 or above be installed
on the network.
The manufacturer suggested retail price of the Extended Systems’ Bridgeport is
$495.00
