Creating a desktop printer with PhaserPort for MacOS 1. Launch the PhaserPort Printer Tool. 2. In the Printer Internet Address field, enter the printer's IP address or DNS name. 3. In the Desktop Printer Name field, enter a name for the desktop printer. 4. Click Verify to contact the printer over the TCP/IP network and verify it's network configuration. 5. Click Create to create the desktop printer. 6. In the Finder, use the Printing Menu's Setup command to finalize the configuration of the new desktop printer. NOTE Certain utilities, such as Adobe Font Downloader, are not compatible with PhaserPort for MacOS software, because they attempt to directly communicate with the printer using the AppleTalk protocol. If you must use this software, create an AppleTalk desktop printer, and then delete this printer after running and quitting the non-compatible software. Networking Setup Guide 21
