Connecting to the LocalTalk Port

To connect to the LocalTalk port, simply connect the interface cable
between the printer and your computer.

Connecting the LocalTalk Interface Cable

To connect to the LocalTalk interface port, you need a cable correctly
wired for this printer and your computer. The cable must also have the
proper connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can supply
you with the proper cable.
For example, the LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit—DIN-8 (Apple
product) is available. Also refer to your computer documentation for the
type of connector required by its LocalTalk port.
Notice:
Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface
cable.
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic
damage to the printer.
To make the connection, firmly plug the cable connector into the
LocalTalk interface port on the back right of the printer. Plug the other
connector into your computer's LocalTalk port. Consult your computer
documentation if you need help.

Selecting the LocalTalk Interface

The printer's standard interface is parallel. While the LocalTalk interface
board is installed, the printer automatically detects that the computer is
using the LocalTalk interface.
