If you have no other connections to make, read ahead to ÒTurning on the printerÓ on page 2-19.

Ethernet connection

Ethernet is a communication standard that supports very high speed data transmission Ñ up to 10 times faster than LocalTalk. If you ordered your printer with the network option, you received the Network Utilities diskettes and the Network Utilities for Phaser Color Printers manual. Refer to that manual for complete information on Ethernet (including setup).

SCSI connection

The SCSI port is used for connecting an optional external hard disk to your printer (the external disk is used to store fonts). Refer to ÒAdding a hard disk for font storageÓ on page B-3 for information on installing a hard disk.
