Connect the printer to the network in one of these two ways:

m To connect the printer to the end of a LocalTalk network, use the LocalTalk

cable to connect the empty socket of the nearest device’s connector box to
the printer’s connector box.

m To connect the printer between two devices on a LocalTalk network,

disconnect one LocalTalk cable from the connector box of the device
immediately to the left or right of the printer and plug it into the new
printer’s connector box. Then use the new LocalTalk cable to connect the
free socket on the printer’s connector box to the socket you freed on the
other device’s connector box.

What to do after connecting to a LocalTalk network

m To connect the printer directly to a single Macintosh or to an IBM PC or

compatible computer, see the appropriate sections later in this chapter.

m If you’re finished connecting the printer, skip to “Adjusting Communication

Settings,” later in this chapter.

For more information about setting up the printer on a LocalTalk network,
see Chapter 2. For information about setting up the printer on a Novell
network running ATPS, see Appendix B.
