Why you need to change the AppleTalk type

The J110 printer requires that you change the AppleTalk type in order for you to print

AppleTalk network print jobs.

Before you change the setting

Verify your printer hardware setup is complete. Refer to the printer setup guide for detailed

instructions.

Change the AppleTalk type

If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend you assign an IP address to

the MarkNet print server. Running TCP/IP with your print server lets you use the full range of

print management tools and perform the easiest configuration.

Method 1 is an easy way to change the AppleTalk type for IP configured print servers. You

can use Method 2 as well.

If you are not running TCP/IP, you must use Method 2.

Method 1 -- TCP/IP

1Assign an IP address to the print server.

–If you are running DHCP, your IP address is automatically assigned. Push the test

button on MarkNet print server to print a network setup page. You can find the

address under the TCP/IP heading.

–If you are not running DHCP, you can manually assign an IP address using the

printer operator panel. Instructions for doing this can be found on page 4.

2Type the IP address in the address bar of your browser (for example,

http://156.192.225.86).

3When you reach the MarkNet web pages, click Configuration/AppleTalk/Advanced

Settings.

4In the top section, make the following changes:

–Change Type to Hb PCL emulation. (The default is LaserWriter. LaserWriter will

not work correctly with your J110 printer.)

–Delete the Prefix and PostScript strings

–Change Mode to RAW

5Click Submit to save your changes.

Method 2 -- Universal configuration files (UCF)

Two universal configuration files (UCF) are shipped on the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities

CD. They are installed on your computer in a Lexmark Extras folder when you set up your

printer. You can use MarkVision or ftp the files to the MarkNet print server.

Set the AppleTalk type

You can use MarkVision to send the SetApple.ucf universal configuration file to the MarkNet

print server to change the AppleTalk type from LaserWriter to Hb PCL emulation.

If you use ftp to send the file, use the following address structure: IP Address/Dev/Config (for

example, //1157.184.12.30/Dev/Config).

Reset the default

The ResetApple.ucf universal configuration file resets the AppleTalk type back to the default

(LaserWriter).

Additional configuration

The following instructions include setting IP address information, creating a Desktop printer,

installing MarkVision, and how to change the AppleTalk zone for your printer.

Set the IP address using the printer operator panel

A simple way to set the IP address, netmask and gateway inside the print server is to use the

printer operator panel. You need to be standing at the printer to use this method.

1On the printer operator panel, choose Parallel Menu, STD Parallel, Network 0 Setup,

TCP/IP, Set IP Address. Press Menu> until you see the correct menu item, and then

press Select.

2When the current IP address is displayed, use the buttons to change the address.

Note: Pressing Select advances you to the next segment in the address. Menu>

increases the number by one. <Menu decreases the number by one.

3When you finish setting the IP address, press Select until the word SAVED appears

briefly.

4Set the IP netmask and gateway in a similar way.

5Print a network setup page to verify the parameters are set as you intended.

Create a Desktop printer

Each Macintosh user on the AppleTalk network who wants to use the network printer should

do the following steps.

1In the Chooser, select the J110 printer.

2If you have a routed network, there is a list of zones you can select from. The new

printer is in the default zone for the network. Select this zone. If you don’t know which

zone to select, look on the network setup page under AppleTalk for Zone.

3Select the new printer. If you don’t know which printer to select, look on the network

setup page under AppleTalk. Find the MarkNet port for your printer. The default name

of the printer is listed beside Name.

4Click Create.

5Look for an icon to appear in the Chooser next to the printer name. This means you

have successfully set up the new printer. A new desktop printer icon is placed on your

desktop, too.

Change the zone and printer name

The MarkNet print server works automatically with AppleTalk networks. However, if you would

like to use a zone and printer name different from the defaults, you can use MarkVision to

change these settings.

Troubleshooting

If you need additional help setting up the MarkNet print server to work with AppleTalk, try the

following resolutions.

Common solutions to network problems

1Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server. To find

out, print a network setup page and look under AppleTalk.

2Make sure the status of the MarkNet print server is “connected”. To find out, look on

the network setup page for Status.

3Do you see the printer in the Chooser? If not, restart the Macintosh workstation and

look again.

Note: Be aware that if you’re on a non-routed network, you can only see the printer if

your workstation connection (LocalTalk, Ethernet or Token-Ring) matches the

connection on the printer. For example, if the Macintosh workstation is on

LocalTalk, you cannot see a printer on Ethernet unless there is a router on the

network.

4If you still don’t see the printer in the Chooser, make sure AppleTalk is active on the

workstation (look in the AppleTalk control panel).

“Lexmark customer support”on page 13.

Light patterns on the external print server

MarkNet external print servers indicate activity, status, and errors by various cyclical patterns

on the four indicator lights.

Under normal conditions, the lights on the print server indicate Ready (idle), job being

processed, flash operation in progress, or restart in progress.

If there is any other pattern of lights, see the chart of error conditions in “Error conditions”on

page 10.

To more easily describe the various light sequences, we have assigned a number to every

possible combination as shown below. The numbers we’ve chosen correspond to the binary

representation on the indicator lights.
