Renaming the printer

You can change the printer name displayed under Apple Talk. If you connect several printers on the network, assign different names so you can identify them. If several printers have the same name, a digit appears next to the printer name in [Chooser].

You can enter up to 31 digits and letters.
Do not use symbols, for example "*", ":", "=", "@", "~".
