Connecting The Printer To Your Macintosh - Epson Stylus Pro XL Setup And Software Manual

Connecting the Printer to Your Macintosh

Follow this procedure only if you are connecting the printer to
the Macintosh using the serial interface. If you are connecting
to a network, see Appendix A of the Reference Guide. For the
serial interface, you need to obtain an Apple System/
Peripheral-8 cable (part number M0197) or equivalent.
Note:
The printer also has a parallel port, which is standard for most PCs
but is not used by the Macintosh.
Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are turned off.
