Using Optional Interfaces Using Macintosh Interface Boards If you are planning to install the LocalTalk board, you also need two LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits (DIN-8 version). Attach one connector box to the AppleTalk interface on the printer and the other to the printer port on the Macintosh. Then attach the LocalTalk cable between the two connector boxes. For more information, see the instructions that come with the connector kits. If you install the Ethernet board connected to a thin coaxial (10BASE2) cable, and the printer is the last device on the network, you need to obtain a 50-ohm terminator. The Ethernet transceiver is included on the EPSON Ethernet board, so you don't need an adapter box for the printer. Using the PC Serial Interface Board Before you install the serial interface board in your printer, follow the instructions that come with the board for setting the baud rate and parity. You may also need to set the board's handshake timing, error handling, and other data transfer conventions. Refer to your computer documentation for information about matching the board's settings to your computer system. Caution: To avoid damaging your printer or computer, do not install the interface board when the printer is connected to an electrical outlet. Installing Optional Interfaces Before you install an optional interface board in your printer, make sure the printer is turned off and all the printer's lights are off. Then follow these steps: 1.
