This bulletin provides information on how to interface Epson laser printers with an

Epson PostScript’ Card to an Apple Macintosh

using Apple LocalTalk

and the

Bridgeport

by Extended Systems.

Connecting a printer to an Apple Macintosh can be difficult if the printer does not

have an AppleTalk interface. The Epson Action Laser II and EPL-8000 laser

printers with the Epson PostScript Card installed do not have built-in AppleTalk

interfaces and as such can be difficult to connect to an AppleTalk network.

Extended Systems has a solution to this problem. It is the Bridgeport 2679B. This

printer sharing device allows you to connect a PostScript printer to an AppleTalk

network and two DOS-based PCs. The Bridgeport has an AppleTalk port that

allows connection to either a stand-alone Macintosh or to an AppleTalk network via

Apple LocalTalk. This device also has a serial and a parallel port for connecting

two DOS-based PCs. The Bridgeport will monitor each of the input ports and route

data that it receives to the printer.

The Bridgeport 2697B was tested from an AppleTalk network to an Action Laser II,

an EPL-8000 with the Epson PostScript Card, and to an Epson EPL-7500. All three

installations worked flawlessly and the printed output was exactly as expected. This

device requires that the Apple LaserWriter? driver Version 5.2 or above be installed

on the network.

The manufacturer suggested retail price of the Extended Systems’ Bridgeport is

$495.00
