Connecting the Printer to Your Macintosh

The method you use to connect the printer to your Macintosh
depends on whether you are using the printer’s built-in serial
interface or an optional interface card (see page 8-2).

Using the built-in serial interface

To use the printer’s built-in serial interface, you will need
an Apple System Peripheral-8 cable. Read the following steps
to connect the printer to your Macintosh.

1. Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are switched off.

2. Connect one end of the interface cable to the serial connector

on the back of the printer.

3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to either the

modem port or printer port on the Macintosh. The ports are
marked with the following icons.
