EtherTalk
EtherTalk is a protocol that redirects AppleTalk packets from the printer port to the EtherTalk card. These
packets are then encapsulated in Ethernet Link Access Protocol and sent out onto the network.
The printer requires a unique location name or identifier. IBM and legacy mainframes can generate
control characters to manage jobs sent to the printer. The printer accepts PS and PJL files with
embedded control characters.
