Connecting the Printer to Your Macintosh

The method you use to connect the printer to your Macintosh
depends on whether you want to send print jobs directly to the
printer using the printer’s built-in serial interface, or send print
jobs to the printer over a network using an optional interface card.
For information on using an optional interface card, see
Chapter 5, “Using an Optional Interface Card”.

To connect the printer to a PC, see Chapter 1, “Setting up the
Printer with Your PC”.

Using the built-in serial interface

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

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

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

on the back of the printer.
