Apple QuickTake 100 - Manual (Page 25)

Connecting the camera to your Macintosh
Use the serial cable that came with your camera.
1 Turn off the camera (shut the lens cover).
2 Plug one end of the serial cable into the modem or printer port on your Macintosh.
If both ports are in use, free the one that’s most convenient and connect the
camera.
IMPORTANT It is not necessary to turn off your Macintosh before you connect
and disconnect the serial cable. (As long as a serial port is free, it’s not active.)
However, if you want to connect or disconnect other devices (for example,
SCSI devices), you should check the appropriate manuals first. In many cases
you must turn off the Macintosh before you connect or disconnect a cable.
These icons identify the printer and
modem ports on your Macintosh.
Connect the camera to either port. Some Macintosh computers have a
combined serial port with two icons.
