Part 2a - Creating a Desktop Printer (via AppleTalk)
1. Confirm that the Macintosh is properly
configured to communicate over
EtherTalk. Go to the Apple menu, then to
Control Panels and to AppleTalk. In the
AppleTalk window, confirm that the
“Connect via:”selection is set to Ethernet.
Close the control panel. Click Save if
prompted to save settings.

Setup section of the Elite Color 16 Series
Getting Started Guide have been followed.
Follow the Macintosh installation steps in

“AppleTalk”as the connection method and
click “Setup Printer.”
Due to potential incompatibilities between Apple’s Desktop Printer Utility and certain AppleTalk
networks, GCC does not recommend using the Apple Desktop Printer Utility to set up the Elite Color
16 Series printer over AppleTalk. As a result, the Elite Color 16 Series software uses the Chooser to set
up the printer over AppleTalk rather than the Desktop Printer Utility. Follow these steps to setup your
printer over an AppleTalk connection.
