Macintosh System Requirements
To use your printer and its software, your system should have:
■ An Apple
®
iMac
™
series or Power Macintosh
®
G3 with USB port
■ For iMac: Mac
®
OS 8.1 or later
For Power Macintosh G3: Mac OS 8.5.1 or later
If your iMac is running OS 8.1, you’ll need to update your
operating system before installing your printer software.
Download and install iMac Update 1.0 or later from Apple at
http://swupdates.info.apple.com. Contact Apple if you have
problems installing the update.
If your iMac is running OS 8.5 or 8.5.1, do not install iMac
Update 1.0. Instead, Apple recommends that you download
and install iMac Update 1.1.
To find out which operating system your iMac is running,
select About This Computer from the Apple menu.
■ At least 16MB of available RAM (32MB recommended)
■ At least 50MB of free hard disk space (100MB recommended)
■ VGA, Super VGA, or better display adapter and monitor
■ Double-speed (2x) CD-ROM drive (quad-speed [4x] or faster recommended) for
installing the printer software
■ A shielded USB “AB” cable from Series A (computer) to Series B (printer), up to
6.5 ft. (2 meters) long.
Using an improperly shielded USB cable—especially a cable
more than 6.5 ft. (2 meters) long—may cause the printer to
malfunction.
