Setting up the Elite XL 1-21

Plugging in the LocalTalk cables

A LocalTalk cable kit consists of one connector box, one LocalTalk cable, and

some terminating resistors. Remember, you will need two kits.

To plug in LocalTalk cables:

1. Switch off the printer.

2. Connect one LocalTalk box to the LocalTalk port on the printer.

The printer’s LocalTalk connector is the third connector from the right

in the row of interface connectors on the back of the printer.

3. Connect one LocalTalk connector box to the printer port on the

Macintosh.

The printer port is on the back of the Macintosh, it is identified by an icon

of a printer.

4. Connect the LocalTalk boxes together with one of the LocalTalk

cables.

You will only need one of the LocalTalk cables (for one Macintosh

and one printer); keep the other cable as a spare.

5. Insert resistors.

Depending on the type of cables you are using, terminating resistors

may be needed. Please refer to the documentation included with your

cable kit for additional instructions.

6. Switch on the printer.

7. Verify the printer’s LocalTalk setting.

The 8-pin serial submenu, accessed from the printer’s front panel,

should be set to LocalTalk. LocalTalk is the factory default, so you

should not need to change the setting. See page 2-10 for information

on the 8-pin serial submenu.
