You can connect the printer to your Macintosh in one of two
ways:
Use the built-in serial interface to directly connect the
printer to a single Macintosh.
Install the optional LocalTalk or Ethernet interface card and
connect the printer to an AppleTalk or EtherTalk network.
The installation procedure differs, depending on whether you
are using the serial interface or one of the optional network
interfaces.
