A. Connecting
the Color Sign
Printer to your
Macintosh
NOTE
1.
Connect one end of
the serial cable to the
Color Sign PrinterÕs
high-speed serial port.
The Color Sign Printer is designed to be used with
any Macintosh which supports Color QuickDraw,
which is running system software 7.0 or higher,
and which has a Geo-compatible serial port.
Current GeoPortª compatible computers include
all PowerPCÕs and Mac AVÕs. Please note that the
following system requirements are recommended:
68040 based Macintosh or PowerPC
32 Mb RAM or higher
200 Mb free hard disk space or higher
Geo-compatible serial port
System software 7.0 or higher
Adobe Type Managerª and/or
System 7/TrueTypeª fonts
To connect the Color Sign Printer to your
computer, simply obtain a high-speed serial cable
and refer to the following steps.
If you intend to use the Color Sign Printer with a
Macintosh which does not have a GeoPort you will not
be able to utilize the printerÕs serial port. Instead, you
must install one of the manufacturerÕs high-speed
centronics parallel interface boards into an available 7Ó
NuBusª slot on your computerÕs main board. If you
have not already obtained this interface board, call the
printer manufacturerÕs supplies department.
