Available interfaces

Unless you are using a Macintosh™, you can use any built-in or optional interface to connect your printer to your computer.

Note for Macintosh users:

When you install this PostScript CARD in your printer, you can connect it to your Macintosh with the optional LocalTalk™ interface C82312*. Do not use the serial interface for this purpose, because the Macintosh does not have a printer driver for the serial interface.

This card returns one of the following messages on the screen:

status:initializing

If some objects are clipped at the right or bottom edge, use A4, Letter, or Legal size instead of small size. To select these sizes, use the Larger Print Area setting in the option dialog box of Page Setup in the Macintosh File menu.
