Connecting To A Computer; When Connecting The Printer Directly To A Computer - Epson IEEE 1394 Handbuch

Connecting to a Computer

The interface card is equipped with two cable connectors. One is used to
connect the card to the computer, and the other is used to connect other
IEEE 1394 devices in a daisy-chain. Use an appropriate 6-contact cable
or an equivalent cable when making the connection. The cable can be
connected without switching off the power supply to the computer or
the printer because it complies with the IEEE 1394 standard.
Note:
The IEEE 1394 Interface Card is attached to optional interface card slot 2
of your printer.
You will not be able to perform the connection procedures explained in this
manual without the cable mentioned above.

When connecting the printer directly to a computer

1. Connect the cable connector to the computer's IEEE 1394 port
(FireWire port).
2. The other cable can be connected to any of the IEEE 1394 ports on
the interface card attached to the printer (any of the ports may be
used).
Note:
Do not connect two computers simultaneously to this interface.
