Quick path to installation

The Phaser 790 can use Ethernet cabling (with the optional Token
Ring adapter) to multiple workstations. It also supports a parallel cable
connection to a single workstation.

Ethernet cabling

The standard Ethernet cabling includes the following:
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 for
100BaseT (Fast Ethernet)
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Category 3, 4, or 5 for use with
10BaseT
The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45
socket on the printer.
Do not attach cables to more than one Ethernet connector; only one
Ethernet connection can be made at any one time.

Parallel cable connection

The Phaser 790 can also accept print jobs from a Windows computer
through its high-speed, bi-directional parallel port. This connection is
useful for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated
networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
Parallel port connections can be used simultaneously with network
connections.
The parallel port uses a mini Centronics cable (Xerox part number
98S4330).
The diagrams on the following pages illustrate typical system
installations. Refer to the page with your preferred platform and
network type. For actual installation and setup, refer to the chapters
that are appropriate to your system.
