B-2 | Using EPSON Drivers and Utilities for Macintosh
Note
Use only an ImageWriter
II cable to connect the
printer to your Macintosh
through the serial
interface. Do not use a
LocalTalk ® cable.

Connecting to the Printer's Parallel/USB Interface

To connect to the printer's built-in parallel port, you'll need a conversion
cable, such as the EPSON USB adapter (C-USB-PK4). Make sure the
printer's parallel interface is set to compatible (the default setting), as
described on page 2-10.
1. Plug the parallel connector securely into the printer's interface. Then
squeeze the wire clips together until they lock into place on both sides.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a USB port on your Macintosh.
You must install the printer software before using the printer. See page B-4
for instructions.

Connecting to the Printer's Built-in Serial Interface

Follow these steps to use the printer's built-in serial interface:
1. For a serial connection, make sure you have an ImageWriter II cable
(preferably Belkin brand).
2. Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are turned off.
