Note:

Use only an Apple System Peripheral-8 cable to connect the printer

to your Macintosh. Do not use a LocalTalk cable.

3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to either the

modem port or printer port on the Macintosh. The ports are

marked with the following icons. (Some Macintosh

PowerBook models have only one serial port.)

Note:

If your Macintosh has a built-in modem, connect the interface cable

to the printer port.

4. Turn on the printer by pressing the Power button.

5. Turn on your Macintosh.

Now see “Installing the Printer Software on Macintosh” on page

2-5. You must install the printer software before using your

printer.
