Your 4200 Series Card 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, obtain a
standard serial cable no longer than 6 feet, with an 8 pin mini-DIN connector, 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.
The printer must have its Ready LED light illuminated to receive data. If the light is
not ON, press the Pause/Resume button.
