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 2400, the
PowerBook may not be able to communicate with the printer.
To m a ke th e 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.
