Connecting the Printer to a Macintosh

To connect the printer to a Macintosh using the serial interface, you need an Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable (part number M0197) or equivalent. Do not use an AppleTalkcable; it will not work.

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, as shown.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to either the modem or printer port on the Macintosh, marked with these icons:

modem port

printer port

4.Turn on the printer by pressing the POWER switch.

5.Turn on your Macintosh.

Now see Chapter 3 for instructions on installing and using the printer software.
