Installing the Printer and Drivers

Cabling the printer

Note

Carry spare serial and parallel cables.

  You can use them if you 

encounter a defective cable or as an alternate means of testing the 
printer-to-host communications. 

This topic explains making a hardware connection between a Phaser 440 and its 
host computer, setting the communication parameters for the printer's serial and 
parallel ports to be compatible with the user's host computer and driver 
installation.  This topic is divided into three main parts:  Macintosh, PC, and 
workstation.

Connecting the printer to a Macintosh

A direct connection between the printer and a Macintosh would be through the 
printer's LocalTalk port.  A networked connection for a Macintosh will most 
likely be either a LocalTalk network or an Ethernet network.  

LocalTalk connection to a Macintosh

1.

Turn off the printer.  LocalTalk protocol requires that you attach the 
LocalTalk cable with the printer powered off.  

2.

For a direct connection, attach the interface cable or adapter to the host 
computer's LocalTalk port.  (The port has a printer icon printed next to 
it.)  Attach the other end to the printer’s LocalTalk port.

For a LocalTalk network connection, attach the network adapter to the 
printer's LocalTalk port.

3.

Turn on the printer and the computer.

Ethernet connection to a Macintosh

Note

For an Ethernet connection, the printer must have the Ethernet option 
card installed.  An Ethernet “Installed” label will be attached to the 
rear panel next to the Ethernet connector.

1.

Turn off the printer.  Ethernet protocol requires that you attach the 
Ethernet cable with the printer powered off.  

2.

Attach the Ethernet network adapter to the printer's Ethernet 
connector.  

3.

Turn on the printer.  During the printer's boot-up process, the printer's 
network name or node address is resolved with the network and is 
displayed in the Mac's Chooser.
