EPSON AMERICA, INC. Product Support Bulletin EPSON 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 Macintosh2 using Apple LocalTalk3 and the Bridgeport4 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 $495.005. See beI ow for Extended Systems' address and telephone numbers. Extended Systems P.O.

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
