Communication Ports
Communication Ports 1
The LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer inlcudes I/O processing (IOP) hardware that
supports three communication ports independently of the main controller processor.
The communication ports on the LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer include:
■
Ethernet 14-pin AUI connector
■
9-pin mini-DIN connector for LocalTalk
■
Centronics 36-pin parallel port
Figure 1-1 shows the relative positions of the built-in ports on the side panel of the
printer. The actual orientation of the connectors in the side panel is vertical, with the
configuration switch at the top.
