C. THE CHOOSER

The

Chooser

is a Desk Accessory in the Apple menu. Before you

can use the printer, you need to select the CD Color Printer III

driver using the Chooser. This instructs your Macintosh to send

print jobs to the CD Color Printer III instead of to some other

printer you may already have connected to your system. Refer

to the following steps to select the CD Color Printer III driver:
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. The Chooser displays an icon for all the printer drivers

installed in the System Folder. Among these, you should see

the icon for the CD Color Printer III driver you just

installed. If you do not see the icon, go through the

installation procedure again making sure the Install driver

and prefs option is selected. Once you locate the CD Color

Printer III icon, click on the icon to select it.

3. Select either the Modem or Printer Port to indicate to which

port the serial interface cable was connected. If the Printer

port is selected, AppleTalk should remain inactive while

printing unless you are using AppleTalk through your

Ethernet port. AppleTalk does not apply when printing with

the Modem port selected.

NOTE: If you have a USB-to-parallel cable connected to the printer, CD

Color Printer III should show up in the Chooser also; Select this to

print through the USB-to-parallel cable. For this to work properly you

must have MacOS 8.6 or higher. Contact the printer manufacturer for

a list of currently-supported and approved USB-to-parallel cable

manufacturers. Printer needs to be connected and ON for USB-to-

parallel to show in Chooser.
