Apple Color StyleWriter 2200 - Manual (Page 31)

Special information for PowerBook owners
Some PowerBook computers have a single serial port identified by a
combination printer/modem icon (
[/W). If an internal modem is installed on
one of these PowerBook computers, the serial port may be in use even though
it looks available. When you plug in the Color StyleWriter 2200, the
PowerBook may not be able to communicate with the printer.
To make the port available for printing, make sure the serial port setting is
Normal or External. To check the setting, open the PowerBook, PowerBook
Setup, or Express Modem control panel. (The control panel and the setting
you use depend on which PowerBook you have and which internal modem
you have.) If you have a PowerBook Express Modem, it is best to leave the
serial port setting as Normal or External unless the modem programs you use
require another setting for compatibility reasons.
Even when a PowerBook has two serial ports, if it also has an internal
modem, the modem port (
W) may look available but actually be in use. If the
printer port (
[) is available, connect the Color StyleWriter 2200 to it. If the
printer port is unavailable and you must use the modem port, make sure the
modem serial port setting is Normal or External. To check the setting, open
the PowerBook, PowerBook Setup, or Express Modem control panel. (The
control panel and the setting you use depend on which modem and system
software version you have.) If you have an Express Modem, it is best to leave
the serial port setting as Normal or External.
For more information, see the instructions that came with your PowerBook.
