A. CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO YOUR COMPUTER

The CD Color Printer is designed to be used with any Apple Macintosh supporting Color QuickDrawª and running system software 7.0 or higher. For best performance, a Macintosh with a 68040 processor and 8MB of RAM (or higher) or a PowerPCª with 8MB of RAM (or higher) is recommended. The printer driver is accelerated for use with a PowerPC.

The printer is equipped with a high-speed serial port. This port is the means through which the printer receives data from your computer. This port is not AppleTalkª compatible. To connect the printer to your computer, simply obtain a standard serial cable with an 8 pin mini-DIN connection on each end, and refer to the following steps:

1.Connect one end of the serial cable to the printer.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to either the Printer or Modem port of your Macintosh.
