To connect to a 10Base2 network

1Attach one section of the ThinLAN (coaxial) cable to a BNC “T” connector.

2Attach another ThinLAN cable section (A) or, if it is at the end of the network, a 50-Ohm terminator (B) to the other side of the BNC “T” connector.

3Plug the BNC “T” connector into the BNC port.

To connect to a LocalTalk network

Plug the end of the DIN-8 cable into the LocalTalk port.

N o t e

ThinLAN and DIN-8 cables, BNC “T” connectors, and 50-Ohm terminators are not included with the printer. They must be purchased separately.

N o t e

If you only use the LocalTalk port, EIO

1INITIALIZING will appear every time you turn the printer on. The message should not interfere with normal printing through LocalTalk. If it does not clear within approximately five minutes, there is a problem with the print server or the network. To prevent the message from appearing during normal operation, connect a BNC “T” connector with two 50-Ohm terminators to the BNC port.
