                                      additional serial device other than a printer (Ex. PDA, 
                                      Digital Camera, Scanner or a MIDI device).  For a full

                                        Configuration#2 - Printer Port
                                        The second example should be used if you are going to
                                        share the printer port of your mac with two printers.  You
                                        can connect both a serial printer (inkjet/label) and a
                                        localtalk printer (laser printer) to the PortDoubler at the 
                                        same time.  For a full explanation refer to Chapter 
                                        "Printer Port Configuration".
