Telling your computer to use the Color StyleWriter 2400

Before using your printer, you must select it in the Chooser.

1Select Chooser from the Apple (K) menu.

2In the Chooser dialog box, click items to select them.

On most Macintosh computers, the Chooser looks like this:

First, click this icon. (If you don’t see the icon, use the scroll bar and arrows to find it.)

If your computer is connected to a network, the Chooser may look different, but you can follow these steps.

Then click one of these items to indicate which port you connected the printer to: the printer port ([) or the modem port (W).

If no port is available and your computer is a PowerBook, see the information below.

3 Close the Chooser by clicking its close box (in the top-left corner).

Special information for PowerBook owners

Some PowerBook computers have a single serial port identified by a combination printer/modem icon ([/W). If an internal modem is installed on one of these PowerBook computers, the serial port may be in use even though it looks available. When you plug in the Color StyleWriter 2400, the PowerBook may not be able to communicate with the printer.

To make the port available for printing, make sure the serial port setting is Normal or External. To check the setting, open the PowerBook, PowerBook Setup, or Express Modem control panel. (The control panel and the setting you use depend on which PowerBook you have and which internal modem you have.) If you have a PowerBook Express Modem, it is best to leave the serial port setting as Normal or External unless the modem programs you use require another setting for compatibility reasons.
