Connecting the printer to your Macintosh

IMPORTANT

The serial cable must connect the printer directly to the computer.

Use only the cable that comes with the printer. Replace the cable only with

another Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable that contains special shielding to

prevent interference with radio and television signals.

If your computer is connected to a network, a network cable may already be

connected to the printer port ([). In that case, use the modem port (W).

Remember which port you use. Later, you must tell the printer software where

to look for the printer.

Some PowerBook computers that have an internal modem installed cannot

tell that the printer is plugged in. You must change a setting in the PowerBook

Setup or Express Modem control panel. For details, see “Telling Your

Computer to Use the Color StyleWriter 2400” later in this chapter.

Connect the other end of the

cable to either the printer port

or the modem port, which are

labeled with these icons.

Plug one end of the

cable into the printer.

(Both ends of the cable

are the same.)

Some Macintosh computers have a

combined serial port with two icons.
