Connecting to a Macintosh
You connect the LaserWriter II to a Macintosh with LocalTalk cables and LocalTalk connector
boxes. These connectors are one way to link computers and peripheral devices in an AppleTalk
network system.
By the way: An AppleTalk network system consists of three parts: the cable system that links
devices; the software, built into every Macintosh, that supports the network; and services that
networked devices share, such as printers and file servers. For more information about
creating a network, refer to the manual that came with your LocalTalk cables and connectors.
1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are switched off.
2. Plug a LocalTalk connector box into the LocalTalk port on the LaserWriter II.
3. Plug a second LocalTalk connector box into the printer port on the Macintosh.
4. Connect the two connector boxes with a LocalTalk cable.

Important safety instructions
You’re almost ready to plug in your LaserWriter II, but first read these important safety
instructions.
__________________________________________________________________
Warning-This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. The LaserWriter II is
equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will fit only a grounding-type AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded
outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!
__________________________________________________________________
For your own safety and the safety of your equipment, always take the following precautions.
Be sure the power plug is disconnected (disconnect by pulling the plug, not the cord):
if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged
if you spill anything into the case
if the LaserWriter II is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture
if the LaserWriter II has been dropped or if the case has been otherwise damaged
if you suspect that the LaserWriter II needs servicing or repair
whenever you clean the case (use only the recommended procedure given below)
Be sure that you always do the following:
Keep the LaserWriter II away from sources of liquids, such as wash basins, bathtubs, shower
stalls, and so on.
Protect the LaserWriter II from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on.
Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug the LaserWriter II into a wall
socket.
Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others.
