System Requirements

To use the Stylus COLOR with your Macintosh using the built-in serial interface, you need the following:

System 6.0.7 or later, or System 7.0 or later.

4MB RAM if you are running System 6.x or 5MB RAM if you are running System 7.x.

Plenty of hard disk space to store and print color images. The amount you need depends on the number and size of your color images.

A standard Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable (8-pin mini din male/male) or equivalent.

To connect the printer to an AppleTalk network, you need the optional EPSON Talk kit, which contains a LocalTalk interface board. To order the EPSON Talk kit, contact EPSON Accessories or your dealer. You will also need two LocalTalk Locking Connector Kits.

Installation

The following installation procedures describe how to set up the printer if you are using the serial interface. If you are using the optional LocalTalk interface, you first need to install the LocalTalk interface board as described in Appendix A.

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

Always leave approximately 2 inches of clear area next to the knob on the printer’s right side. The printer will not print if anything is pressing against the knob.
