This drawing describes a serial data cable connection for the Lantronix WiBox 2100E serial device server to an Apple ImageWriter II printer.


References: Lantronix manual figure 2-5 and Apple documents below.


The Apple ImageWriter II manual is no longer available from Apple (broken link). Several archived versions are below:

Note its reference to Figure D-1 is looking at the back of the computer. The figure above is for the cable that plugs into it. This document describes the cable. Other ImageWriter manuals (below) are unclear but it can be assumed they are also describing the back of the computer, so use caution.
