Connect The Film Recorder - Polaroid 8035 Repair Manual

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual

Connect the Film Recorder

ProPalette film recorders have a parallel port (1 in Figure 2-2) for connection to a
Windows 95 or 98 computer, and a SCSI port (2 in Figure 2-2) for connection to either a
Macintosh computer or to a Windows 95, 98 or NT computer with a SCSI host adapter
installed. (The parallel connection cannot be used with Windows NT systems.) The
power cord connects at 4 in Figure 2-2, and item 3 is the reset button.
The software kit for Windows systems includes a parallel cable, but you can connect your
system to the SCSI port if you have a SCSI host adapter installed and a SCSI connection
cable (not included).
If you install a SCSI host adapter, follow the instructions provided by the adapter
manufacturer. (Host adapters may not be available for some iMac computers.)
Parallel Connection (PC with Windows 95 or 98)
Note: The parallel port must be configured as ECP in the PC
BIOS.
1. Turn off the PC and the ProPalette (Figure 2-3).
2. Connect the power cable to the ProPalette (Figure 2-4) and plug the cable into
AC power.
