LocalTalk connection

You can make LocalTalk connections between the printer and a single computer or on a LocalTalk network using a daisy-chainsetup. If your LocalTalk installation is complex, or if you need assistance, contact your network system administrator.

LocalTalk connectors and cables are available through your dealer. This illustration shows two commonly used types of LocalTalk connectors:

1.Self-terminating connector.

2.Connector that requires an external terminator (depending on your network conÞguration).

Note Depending on the type of LocalTalk cables you use and your network configuration, you might need to use terminators at certain points in the installation. Refer to the documentation for your LocalTalk connectors and cables for details.

Note LocalTalk is sometimes referred to as AppleTalk. LocalTalk refers to the physical connection; AppleTalk is the protocol.
