- To correct the PostScript Hex Codes.

-
- TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- Does the utility software that comes with the LaserWriter IIg (which
- connects directly to Ethernet) allow the user to change the zone that the
- printer resides in?
-
- DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
-
- The "LaserWriter Utility" included with the LaserWriter IIg doesn't have
- an
- option to select a zone when connected to an EtherTalk network that has
- more than one zone associated with it. You can change the zone that the
- LaserWriter IIg appears in with this PostScript code:
-
- ---Cut Here---
- currentfile statusdict begin product (LaserWriter IIg) eq
- version (2010.113) eq and end not
- {save exch 291 string readstring pop pop restore} if
- /ASCIIHexDecode filter /SystemPatch statusdict /emulate get exec

- serverdict begin 0 exitserver
- (%EtherTalk%) <</EtherTalkZone (YourZoneGoesHere)>> setdevparams
- ---Cut Here---
-
-
- 1) Copy all information between the "---Cut Here---" lines.
-
- 2) Paste the information into a text document.
-
- 3) Change the text "YourZoneGoesHere" in the last line to the new zone
- name.
-
- 4) Save the text document as a file.
-
- 5) Download the file with the LaserWriter Utility.
-
- After sending this code, the LaserWriter IIg should appear in the new
- zone.
- If the zone name requested isn't valid for the EtherTalk network, the
- LaserWriter IIg uses "*" as the zone name and appears in the default zone.
- A valid zone name is a string of up to 32 characters, excluding the ":"
- and
- "@" characters.
-
- Notes
- -----
- For a LaserWriter IIg to be in a particular zone:
-
- 1) The LaserWriter IIg must be directly connected to an EtherTalk Phase 2
- network via the built-in Ethernet port.
-
- 2) The zone in which the LaserWriter IIg is to appear must be in the zone
- list for the physical cable (network) to which the LaserWriter IIg is
- attached -- which, in this case, must be Ethernet. This is defined by
- the router for the physical cable.
-
- Tip for Sending PostScript Code to a LaserWriter
- ------------------------------------------------
- An easy way to send PostScript code to a LaserWriter is to enter it into a
- TeachText document and download it using the LaserWriter Utility's
- Download
- PostScript File option. TeachText is included with Macintosh system
- software, and the LaserWriter Utility is included with both the
- LaserWriter
- IIf and IIg.
