Macintosh Interface Cabling
To connect your printer to a single Macintosh, you must have
n
Two PhoneNET-type transformer boxes (one for the printer port
and one for the Macintosh port), each with a DIN-8 connector
n
An RJ11 (telephone) cable
n
Two terminating resistors to close the open sockets left in the
transformer boxes after the connection is made
If you’re replacing a printer already connected to a Macintosh, you
probably already have this equipment. If not, contact your QMS ven-
dor or a local computer store.
If you’re connecting the printer to an AppleTalk network with more
than one Macintosh, see your PhoneNET and Macintosh documenta-
tion for more information.
Making the Connection
Use the following procedure to connect your printer to a Macintosh.
▲ Caution: Turn off both the printer and the Macintosh before making
the connection.
1 Plug the connector from one transformer box into the
printer’s LocalTalk port.
