More about modem and printer ports
Several kinds of devices can be connected to the modem and
printer ports on the Duo MiniDock, but you can use only two
such devices at a time. The chart shows which devices can be
connected to which ports.
Device type Modem port Printer port
Direct-connect printer yes yes
Network printer no yes
External modem yes no
LocalTalk cable no yes
Before using a device connected to the modem or printer port,
you need to select it—usually by clicking an option in the Chooser
or in the PowerBook control panel (both available from the Apple
menu). See “Working With a PowerBook Duo System” later in this
section for more information.
When you have finished connecting your equipment to the Duo
MiniDock, you are ready to connect the PowerBook and begin
using your PowerBook Duo system.
