For a Macintosh

To use your printer with a Macintosh, we recommend you have these computer system components:

Any Macintosh or Power Macintosh model except the Macintosh +, Macintosh 512, or Macintosh PowerBook100

System 7.1 or later

At least 8MB of available system RAM

A hard disk with at least 40MB of unused space to store and print color images. The amount of space you need depends on the number and size of your color images.

A standard Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable (part number M0197) or equivalent (RS-422, 8-pin, mini DIN male/male). You can purchase the following serial cables from EPSON Accessories: F2V024-06 (Macintosh to ImageWriter II,

6-foot cable, mini-din 8 to male) or F2V024-10 (Macintosh to ImageWriter II, 10-foot cable, mini-din, 8 to male).

Choosing a Location

When choosing a location for the printer, use a surface that is flat, horizontal, and stable.

Avoid locations subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep the printer away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and sources of electromagnetic interference, such as the base units of cordless telephones.

Always leave adequate space around the printer to accommodate its cables.
