APPENDICES
For Macintosh:
1. Ensure the printer is turned ON and you have your ImageWriter II cable (RS422-232) attached
between the serial port on the printer and the serial port on the host computer.
2. Place the xxxx.ROM file in the Spool folder on the Mac and run the spooler. You don’t need
the GO.EXE application. Approximately 20 - 40 seconds later a single beep should be heard,
indicating the download was successful. After a one second delay, the printer will automati-
cally reboot. The printer should come up normally. Verify the new firmware revision by
sequencing through Utility Menu - Service Menu - About menu.
3. If multiple beeps are heard, reboot printer and reseat serial port connection. Resend the .ROM
file to the printer.

cartridges. When this is the case, “Prime, clean, calibrate, or replace” is indicated with other
solutions. Refer to the following chapters for details:
Prime - see Chapter 2
Clean - see Chapter 4
