If you installed the optional LocalTalk interface board, you need to obtain two LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits (DIN-8 version). Attach a connector box both to the LocalTalk interface on the printer and to the printer port on the Macintosh. Then attach the LocalTalk cable between the two connector boxes. For specific instructions, see the owner’s guide that comes with the LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits.

To connect the printer to your Macintosh using the serial interface:

1.Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are turned off.

2.Connect one end of the interface cable to the serial connector, which is located on the back of the printer immediately behind the control panel.

3.Connect the other end of the interface cable into either the modem or printer port on the Macintosh. The Macintosh ports are indicated with the following icons:

Modem port

Printer port

Normally it is recommended that you use the modem port if you are not using an external modem. This frees up your printer port for connecting to an AppleTalk network.

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

Installing the Macintosh driver

Always use the EPSON Stylus COLOR Macintosh driver when you print with the Stylus COLOR. This driver is specifically designed for the printer and allows you to easily access all its features.
