cables for details.
Connecting to a single computer
To avoid damaging the network interface, turn off the printer before making any
LocalTalk connections.
1. Connect the short cable of a LocalTalk connector to the PhaserShare
LocalTalk port.
2. Connect the short cable of another LocalTalk connector to your
computer’s LocalTalk port.
3. Connect a LocalTalk cable from the LocalTalk connector that you have
just attached to your computer to the printer’s LocalTalk connector.
Depending on the type of LocalTalk connectors you use and your network
configuration, you might need to use external terminators. Refer to the
documentation for your LocalTalk connectors and cables for details.
