Connecting the Printer to the Host Computer
Most recent Intel systems will contain the needed components. However, there are a number
of older systems that, while having USB hardware, have an obsolete USB implementation.
Your GENICOM USB printer will not work with these older systems unless a separate USB
controller card is installed in your system. It is possible to have working hardware but not
have a physical port, in which case the proper connector must be purchased from the system
supplier.
NOTE: Systems made in 1996 and earlier probably do not support USB correctly on the motherboard;
systems made in 1997 may or may not properly support USB; and systems made since 1998
probably do support USB correctly.
■ Apple
The Apple iMac and G3/G4 systems come with working USB hardware and fully support
your GENICOM USB printer. Older PCI-based Macintosh systems may be upgraded with a
USB card. This configuration should work with the correct version of the operating system.
Installation for Windows
Use the following procedure to install USB for Windows:
1. Verify that your system supports USB and has an available USB connector. If you do not have
an available connector, you may need to purchase a USB hub.
NOTE: You may use an unpowered USB hub, since the printer is considered a self-powered device and
will not draw power from the USB port.
2.
