Direct Ethernet connection

Many computers now have Ethernet as standard or offer it as a low-cost option. This
means that you can connect your computer to the printer without adding any other
Ethernet devices, so long as the computer is running EtherTalk software.

Important: When connecting the printer directly to a computer (either Macintosh or PC-
compatible) with Ethernet we strongly recommend that you use the 10BASE-2 connection.

Direct Ethernet connection options

When you use EtherTalk, in most cases the printer will be connected to a Macintosh. Some
third-party EtherTalk networking cards for PC-compatibles are also available; these have
the same types of connector detailed in the following sections. If you’re using these cards,
be sure to refer to the documentation included with them before proceeding with the
following procedures.

Option 1 - Apple Attachment Unit Interface (AAUI)

The AAUI interface is the standard connector used by Apple in Macintoshes that have
Ethernet built-in at the factory. Third-party Macintosh Ethernet cards may also incorpo-
rate an AAUI connector.

Items needed:

Computer with Ethernet and AAUI port

1 AAUI to Thin Coax media adapter (also called a transceiver)

1 BNC “T” connector

1 50 Ohm terminator

1 length (at least 6 feet long) of RG-58 coaxial cable

To connect the printer to a computer with an AAUI port:

1. Turn off the computer and printer.

2. Attach the BNC “T” connector to the BNC connector on the Elite 12ppm.

3. Attach a 50 Ohm terminator to one side of the “T” connector.

4. Connect the AAUI connector of the media adapter to the AAUI port on

your computer.

5. Attach one end of the RG-58 coaxial cable to the unterminated side of

the BNC “T” connector on the printer.

6. Attach the other end of the RG-58 coaxial cable to one of the BNC con-

nectors on the media adapter.
