EtherTalk Configuration
Changing the Printer's Name (Optional)
The name is displayed 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 Duplicate Printer Names on a Network
If you have more than one printer in the same zone and you choose a name for one
I
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 Xerox and another printer in the zone already has the same
name, the printer you are naming appears on the network as Xerox-1.
The added number is recalculated each time the printer is turned on. If you have more
I
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 is displayed in the Chooser, on the printer's front panel, and on
I
the Startup Page. On the Configuration Page, the name, without the characters @ : = *,
and with the added number, appears in the EtherTalk area. The Printer Name under
General Information is the name as it was set, not as it is displayed in the Chooser.
