Apple Serial Interface Cables
Important!
Your Apple computer and its peripheral devices were FCC-certified under test conditions that include use
of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use shielded
cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radio, television, and other
electronic devices.
Always make sure you have turned off both the computer and a peripheral device, such as a printer,
before connecting or disconnecting them. Changing cables when the power is on can damage your
equipment.
Connecting the Printer Cable to the ImageWriter II
Locate the 8-pin, mini-circular connector on your printer cable. The top side of the connector bears an
Apple or a printer icon (for the Apple II, II Plus, and IIe).
The 8-Pin, Mini-Circular Connector
Plug the connector into the ImageWriter II’s serial interface socket. Make sure you get a firm fit. Loose
connections can cause interference with radios and televisions, scramble data, or stop the printing
process.
