NOTE: If you’re connecting more than one Macintosh to the
printer, in an AppleTalk network, see your PhoneNET
and Macintosh documentation for information.
Making the Connection
CAUTION: Turn off both the printer and the Macintosh before
making the connection.
1. Plug the connector from one transformer box into the printer’s
LocalTalk port.
2. Plug the connector from the other transformer box into the
Macintosh.
3. Connect the two transformer boxes with the telephone cable.
4. Put terminating resistors into any open sockets in the
transformer boxes. This ensures proper communication
between the Macintosh and the printer and helps speed up data
transmission.
5. Turn on the printer.
Printing from the Macintosh
If your Macintosh was previously connected to a PostScript printer,
you can probably start printing now. See your application
documentation for instructions on sending a document to the
printer or see “Testing Macintosh Communication,” later in this
chapter.
However, to take advantage of all your printer’s special features
(like Q
COLOR
automatic color control technology, and media size
and type selection), or if you’ve never printed to a PostScript
printer before, you need to take a few minutes to load the following
software from the Macintosh disks we shipped with your printer:
