Xante Accel-a-Writer 8200 Manual page 22

To connect your printer via the LocalTalk port, use the following
procedure.
1. Turn off your printer and your host computer.
2. Plug the DIN-8 connector on one LocalTalk connector box
into the 8-pin LocalTalk port on the back of the printer.
3. Plug the DIN-8 connector on the second LocalTalk connector
box into the printer port on your Macintosh (refer to your
Apple Macintosh manual).
4. Connect the two LocalTalk connector boxes with the RJ-11
phone cable.
5. Plug the terminating resistor(s) into the open socket(s) in the
connector box(es).
Fig. 2.19 Place a Terminating Resistor in the Open Socket
Note: Be sure to terminate the open sockets on the ends of your
LocalTalk network with the terminators supplied with
your LocalTalk connectors (fig. 2.19). (There should
only be two open sockets on the network, one at each
end.) Closing open sockets helps speed data transmission
and helps ensure the printer is available in the Chooser.
6. Turn on the printer and host computer.
7. Select the Chooser from the Apple menu on your Macintosh
computer. The Chooser window opens.
8. Click the appropriate LaserWriter icon in the left side of the
window.
