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

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

If you’re running OS 8.1, you must install iMac Update 1.0.

If you’re 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://asu.info.apple.com. Contact Apple if you have problems installing an update.

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