Making the Connection
What You Need for the Connection
Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing
a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll
need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local com-
puter store.
To connect your printer to a single Macintosh, you must have
n
An optional LocalTalk interface. See chapter 3, “Interfaces and
Daughterboards,” of the
Options manual for installation
information.
n
Two PhoneNET-type transformer boxes: one with a DIN-8 con-
nector for the printer port and one with a DIN-8 connector for the
Macintosh port
n
An RJ11 (telephone) cable
n
Two terminating resistors to close the open sockets left in the
transformer boxes after the connection is made
If you’re connecting the printer to an AppleTalk network with more
than one Macintosh, see your PhoneNET and Macintosh documenta-
tion for more information.
