Connecting the printer to your Macintosh
IMPORTANT
Even if you’re planning to share the printer over a network, the
serial cable must connect the printer directly to the computer. Use only the
cable that comes with the printer or a similar replacement. Do not use a
LocalTalk cable.
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 connected to the computer. You must change a setting in
the PowerBook Setup or Express Modem control panel. For details, see
“Telling Your Computer to Use the StyleWriter 1200” 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.
