Connecting the printer directly to a Mac OS computer
If you want to add the printer to a LocalTalk network, see the next section,
“Connecting to an Apple LocalTalk Network (Optional).” If you have a
Windows/DOS computer, see “Connecting the Printer Directly to a
Windows/DOS Computer,” later in this chapter.
1Make sure the computer is turned off.
2Plug the cable into the round port on the printer.
You can use the serial cable that came with your printer.
3Plug the other end of the cable into one of the ports on your computer.
If the modem port (W) is available, plug the serial cable into that port.
Otherwise, plug the cable into the printer port ([).
If your computer has a combined modem and printer port ([/W), use it.
Remember which port on the computer you use. Later you must tell the
printer software where to look for the printer.
Connect this end of the cable
to either the printer port or
the modem port, which are
labeled with these icons.
Some Macintosh
computers have a
combined serial port
with two icons.
