ImageWriter I: Compatible with Newer Macintosh Models (2/96)


I am having difficulty using a Macintosh Classic with a wide carriage

ImageWriter I. Are there any known incompatibilities with old ImageWriter

printers and the new computers or system software?


There are no known compatibility problems with the ImageWriter I and Macintosh computer with DIN 8 serial ports, if the current ImageWriter driver and the proper cables are used.



The current ImageWriter driver is version 2.7 for System 6 users and version 7.0.1 for System 7.x users. The correct cable configuration is to use the original Macintosh to ImageWriter DB-9 to DB-25 cable, part number 590-0169, with the DB-9 to Mini DIN 8 Macintosh Peripheral Adapter cable, part number 590-0553.



When using these cables and the current ImageWriter driver, the printer

should work just fine.
