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.

Macintosh System Requirements

To use your printer and its software, your system should have:

An Apple® iMacseries or Power Macintosh® G3 or later with USB port

For iMac: Mac® OS 8.1 or later

For Power Macintosh G3 or later: Mac OS 8.5.1 or later

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

If your iMac is running OS 8.1, you must install iMac Update 1.0

If your iMac is running OS 8.5 or 8.5.1, Apple recommends that you install iMac Update 1.1

Download the update for your system from Apple at http://swupdates.info.apple.com. Contact Apple if you have problems installing the update.

To find out which operating system your iMac is running, select About This Computer from the Apple menu.
