Connecting the camera to your MacintoshUse the serial cable that came with your camera.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you use the AC Adapter or the QuickTake
Battery Booster Pack whenever your QuickTake camera is connected to the
computer.
1 Turn off the camera (shut the lens cover).
2 Plug one end of the serial cable into the modem or printer port on your Macintosh.
If both ports are in use, free the one that’s most convenient and connect
the camera.
IMPORTANT
It is not necessary to turn off your Macintosh before you connect
and disconnect the serial cable. (As long as a serial port is free, it’s not active.)
However, if you want to connect or disconnect other devices (for example,
SCSI devices), you should check the appropriate manuals first. In many cases
you must turn off the Macintosh before you connect or disconnect a cable.
These icons identify the printer and
modem ports on your Macintosh.
Connect the camera to either port.
Some Macintosh computers have a
combined serial port with two icons.
