For example, the LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit—DIN-8 (Apple
product) is available. Also refer to your computer documentation for
the type of connector required by its LocalTalk port.
Caution:
Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface
cable.
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic
damage to the printer.
To make the connection, firmly plug the cable connector into the
LocalTalk interface port on the back right of the printer. Plug the
other connector into your computer's LocalTalk port. Consult your
computer documentation if you need help.
Selecting the LocalTalk Interface
