PowerBook 500 series: Using the LaserWriter Select 310 (4/95)


I am using a PowerBook 500 series computer, without an internal modem, and a LaserWriter Select 310. I just installed the printer software and cannot get it to print. Any ideas?

The PowerBook 500 series computers were introduced after the LaserWriter Select 310, so you need to use the LaserWriter Select 310 printer driver that comes pre-installed on the hard disk. Installing the LaserWriter Select 310 software that came with your printer can cause compatibility problems since it places older versions of the chooser, printer drivers, and other software on your hard disk.

Setting Up The Printer
----------------------
1) In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 310 icon.
2) Select the serial port with the telephone icon.

Using With an Internal Modem
----------------------------
If you have an internal modem, in the PowerBook Setup control panel set the Modem section to Normal. In the PowerPort 500 v2.5 software, this setting is located in the Modem control panel under Configure Port. Set it to Normal.
