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).

an Apple System Peripheral-8 cable. Read the following steps
to connect the printer to your Macintosh.

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