Connecting to a Macintosh

What You Need

To connect your printer to a single Macintosh, you need the items
shown in the illustration below:
■Two PhoneNET-type transformer boxes
You need one with a DIN-8 connector for the printer port
and one with the connector required by your Macintosh
(usually a DIN-8).
■RJ11 (telephone) cable
■Terminating resistors—probably two
If you’re replacing a printer already connected to a Macintosh, you
probably already have this equipment.
