Sample Macintosh Network

In Mac OS 8/9, the AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocol is used. In Mac OS X, either the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), TCP/IP, or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used.

To use the e-mail/I-fax function or to send data, the TCP/IP protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," or "Communication Environment Setup," specify an AppleTalk (Macintosh), TCP/IP, or NetBIOS network, depending on the protocol.


Remark
  • The protocol you can use differs depending on the version of Mac OS or type of printer driver. For details, see Chapter 10, "Before Printing from Computers," in Getting Started.
