• Is printed on the startup and configuration pages.
• Is used by both LocalTalk and EtherTalk to identify the printer.
• Appears in the Chooser on a Macintosh.
• Can be up to 31 characters long, and may contain any printable characters except @ (at sign) and : (colon).
• The default printer name is Phaser 300X. If more than one printer with the same name appears in the same zone, numbers are appended to the names of the printers added later, for example Phaser 300X-1 and Phaser 300X-2.
• A name change is persistent across printer power cycles. To change the printer's name, use the following files for your computer type.

  Macintosh file name	PC file name
  LaserWriter Utility	PRNTNAME.PS

Note:If you are using QuickDraw GX, remove any desktop printer icons that refer to the old printer name and make new desktop printers after changing the printer's name; see "Creating a desktop printer" for instructions.

1. Install the utility files from the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM; refer to "Installing the printer's software" for instructions.
2. Select the appropriate printer in the Chooser.
3. Locate the LaserWriter Utility in the PhaserTools folder on your hard disk, and double-click its icon to start the application.
4. Select Name Printer from the Utilities menu; the currently selected printer is listed in the dialog box.
5. Type the new name in the edit box.
6. Click the Rename button.
7. At the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
8. Open the Chooser to reselect the printer with its new name.

1. Copy the utility files from the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM.
2. View the PRNTNAME.PS file in a text editor.
3. Edit the file to substitute a different printer name for
   (My Printer Name) in the /PrinterName line.
4. Use one of the following methods to send the file to the printer:
   • PC users: Use the DOS COPY command to send the file to the printer. (Windows 3.1 users can also use the Copy command in the File Manager.)
   • Workstation users: Send the file to the printer as you would any PostScript file.

Note:Some text editors add a carriage return or line feed after the last Control-D character in a file you are editing. If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel port, or the optional serial port, the extra characters will start a new job and the printer times out after a few minutes. To avoid this, copy the CTRLD.PS file to the printer after you send the PRNTNAME.PS file; see "CTRLD.PS" for more information on the CTRLD.PS file.
