Xerox Phaser 780 Tabloid Installation Guide

With the PhaserShare Series B LocalTalk card, you can connect the printer to a 
LocalTalk network.  Both the LocalTalk connection on the card and the  Ethernet 
connector on the printer’s rear panel are simultaneously active.  

When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased initially with the printer, it is 
installed at the factory.  When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased later as an 
upgrade kit, follow the installation instructions that are shipped with the card.

LocalTalk is sometimes referred to as AppleTalk.  LocalTalk refers to the physical 
connection; AppleTalk is the protocol.

You can make LocalTalk connections between the printer and a single computer or a 
LocalTalk network.  If your LocalTalk installation is complex, or if you need 
assistance, contact your network system administrator.

Connect your printer to a LocalTalk network before you turn on the printer.

The PhaserShare Series B LocalTalk card has the following connections and 
indicators on the rear panel:

TX indicator (yellow); blinks while the interface is transmitting.

RX indicator (green); blinks while the interface is receiving.

LocalTalk connector; 8-pin, circular DIN. 

Both indicators flashing together indicates a fatal software error.  Turn the printer off, 
then on again; if the problem persists, replace the card.
