LocalTalk connection

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

Note

LocalTalk is sometimes referred to as AppleTalk. LocalTalk refers
to the physical connection; AppleTalk is the set of protocols.

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

1.

Self-terminating connector.

2.

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

Note

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