Changing the printer’s name (optional)

There are three ways to change the printer’s name:

■

Use the

Apple Printer Utility

; see

Changing the printer’s name: Apple Printer Utility

on page 29.

■

With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink

Printer Management Software; see

Changing the printer’s name: PhaserLink Printer

Management Software

on page 30.

The name is reported on the Startup Page and Configuration Page; the name also appears

in the

Chooser.

The name can be up to 31 characters long.

It may contain any printable

characters; however, the characters

@

:

=

*

are deleted from the name used on

AppleTalk.

A change is persistent across printer power cycles.

Notes regarding printer names

■

If you have more than one printer in the same zone and you choose a name for one

printer that is already assigned to another, the second printer registers itself on the

network with the number 1 appended to the name.

For example, if you attempt to

assign a printer the name

Tektronix

and another printer in the zone already has the

same name, the printer you are naming appears on the network as

Tektronix-1.

■

The added number is recalculated each time the printer is turned on.

If you have

more than one printer with the same name on the network, the printers’ names on the

network depend on the order in which the printers are turned on.

To avoid this

confusion, it is recommended that you assign each printer on the network a unique

name.

■

The added number appears in the

Chooser,

on the printer’s front panel, and on the

Startup Page.

On the Configuration Page, the name, without the characters @ : = *,

and with the added number, appears in the

EtherTalk

or

TokenTalk

areas.

The

Printer Name

under

General Information

is the name as it was set, not as it appears

in the

Chooser.

Changing the printer’s name:


1.

Locate the

Apple Printer Utility,

included on your printer’s CD-ROM.

2.

Double-click the


icon; the

Printer Selector

window is displayed.

3.

Select the zone (if applicable) and the printer.

Click

Open Printer;

a dialog box is

displayed containing

Printer Information

and

Printer Preferences.

4.

Click the triangle to the left of

Printer Preferences.

Click the triangle to the left of

Name;

this displays a dialog box containing a field for the printer’s name.

Enter the

new name in the field.

5.

Click

Send.

6.

To reselect the printer with its new name, open the

Chooser.
