■Double-speed (2x) CD-ROM drive (quad-speed [4x] or faster recommended) for installing the printer software

■For parallel connection: a high-speed, bidirectional, IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable (6 to 10 feet long); the cable must have a D-SUB, 25-pin, male connector for your computer and a 36-pin, Centronics® compatible connector for the printer

For USB connection: a computer running Windows 98 with a Windows 98 compliant USB port and a shielded USB “AB” cable from Series A (computer) to Series B (printer), up to 6.5 ft. (2 meters) long.

Using an improperly shielded USB cable—especially a cable more than 6.5 ft. (2 meters) long—may cause the printer to malfunction.

■An Apple® iMac™ series or Power Macintosh® G3 or later with USB port

■For iMac: Mac® OS 8.1 or later

If you have an iMac, you may need to update your operating system before installing your printer software:
