If you installed the optional LocalTalk interface board, you
need to obtain two LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits (DIN-8
version). Attach a connector box both to the LocalTalk interface
on the printer and to the printer port on the Macintosh. Then
attach the LocalTalk cable between the two connector boxes.
For specific instructions, see the owner’s guide that comes with
the LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits.
To connect the printer to your Macintosh using the serial
interface:
1. Make sure both your printer and Macintosh are turned off.
2. Connect one end of the interface cable to the serial
connector, which is located on the back of the printer
immediately behind the control panel.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable into either the
modem or printer port on the Macintosh. The Macintosh
ports are indicated with the following icons:
Modem port Printer port
Normally it is recommended that you use the modem port
if you are not using an external modem. This frees up your
printer port for connecting to an AppleTalk network.
4. Turn on the printer by pressing the Operate button.
Installing the Macintosh driver
Always use the EPSON Stylus COLOR Macintosh driver when
you print with the Stylus COLOR. This driver is specifically
designed for the printer and allows you to easily access all its
features.
