Connecting the Serial Interface Cable

✒Note

This section is only for printer models which have had the serial interface installed.

You need a serial interface cable with an 8-pin, DIN-type connector to connect your printer and computer.

✒Note

∙Consult your dealer for a serial interface cable.

∙If you are a Macintosh user, you can easily find the necessary cable at

a local computer store. Look for Apple serial cables labeled as “Macintosh to ImageWriter II ™ or “Macintosh to Personal LaserWriter™ 300” or the “Apple System Peripheral 8 Cable”. Do not

purchase a serial cable labeled as “Straight-through” or “LocalTalk.”

∙If you are a PC user, you need to purchase a special serial cable from your dealer. If you have a 9-pin connector on your computer, look for a cable labeled “IBM AT to ImageWriter II” cable. If you have a 25- pin connector, look for a cable labeled “DB25 to ImageWriter II.” These cables most likely would be found in the Apple Macintosh section at your computer dealer. For more information about the interface specification, consult your dealer.
