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 DECcolorwriter 1000 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.
Connecting the printer to a PC
Direct connection to a PC
1.
Turn off the printer. Turn off the host computer.
2.
Attach the parallel interface cable to the host computer. Attach the other end
to the printer. Alternatively, attach the serial cable to the host computer's
serial port. Attach the other end to the printer's serial port.
3.
Turn on the printer and the computer.
