Connecting the Printer to Your Macintosh
The method you use to connect the printer to your Macintosh
depends on whether you want to send print jobs directly to the
printer using the printer’s built-in serial interface, or send print
jobs to the printer over a network using an optional interface card.
For information on using an optional interface card, see Chapter
5, “Using an Optional Interface Card.”
Using the built-in serial interface
To use the printer’s built-in serial interface, you will need an
Apple System Peripheral-8 cable. Then follow the steps below to
connect the printer to your Macintosh.
Note:
To connect the printer parallel port and USB port of your computer
using the USB cable, you will need an additional conversion cable.
1. Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are turned off.
2. Connect one end of the interface cable to the serial connector
on the back of the printer.
