If necessary, place a checkmark within the Enable AppleTalk checkbox. The system will update and enable the checkbox in License Manager.
8. Note that the Phase Type is set to 2 by default. This denotes a multi-zoned network of 256 workstations per zone. The Phase 1 setting, which is available by clicking the selection arrow, is an older phase with a limit of 256 workstations on a single network.
9. Note that the Zone Name is set as a star (*) by default. This setting lets the closest router assign the printer to the default zone.
10. Although not shown on screen, note for reference that the default AppleTalk printer type is LaserWriter.

12. To log off, select [Logoff] from the Logon menu.

Viewing or Changing the AppleTalk Printer Name

The AppleTalk Printer Name, selectable on the Macintosh workstation using Chooser, is comprised of the printer's internal queue name or names. For systems with one queue, this name is the same as the IP hostname followed by the letters VP. For systems with the Productivity Pack license installed and enabled, all queues listed under the Queue Manager are selectable as AppleTalk printers using Chooser.

Note: Changing the queue name can cause problems in client/server environments, with clients that are using the older queue name for their network port connection.
