Apple Color StyleWriter 1500 - Manual (Page 9)

Connecting the printer to your Macintosh
IMPORTANT Be sure you are using a serial cable, not a LocalTalk cable.
If your computer is connected to a network, a network cable may already be
connected to the printer port (
[). In that case, use the modem port (W).
If you have the optional EtherTalk Adapter, see “Connecting a Color
StyleWriter 1500 to an EtherTalk Network” in Chapter 2.
Remember which port you use. Later, you must tell the printer software where
to look for the printer.
Some PowerBook computers that have an internal modem installed cannot
tell that the printer is connected to the computer. You must change a setting in
the PowerBook Setup or Express Modem control panel. For details, see
“Special Information for PowerBook Owners” in the section “Telling Your
Computer to Use the Color StyleWriter 1500,” later in this chapter.
Connect this cable to
either the printer port or
the modem port, which are
labeled with these icons. Some Macintosh
computers have a
combined serial
port with 2 icons.
