To print documents from a Macintosh computer, you must install the 
following optional printer accessories:

Serial/LocalTalk interface board
If you do not have these accessories, contact your authorized Xerox 
dealer. Installation instructions for these options can be found in 
Appendix B: Printer Options.
Once you have installed the required options and connected your

is provided on the CD-ROM that came with your printer. 
Installation instructions are provided in the section “Installing the
