ImageWriter I: Troubleshooting with Macintosh Classic (2/96)


I cannot get my Macintosh Classic to work with my ImageWriter I.


Step 1

------

Make sure that the ImageWriter I printer's switch settings are

correct:



Switch 1



1-Off

2-Off

3-Off

4-Off

5-Off

6-On

7-Off

8-Off



Switch 2



1-ON

2-ON

3-OFF

4-XX



Step 2

------

Verify that you are using the correct cable. Cable part number 590-0555, or the original Macintosh to ImageWriter DB-9 to DB-25 cable (part # 590-0169) with the DB-9 to Mini DIN 8 Macintosh Peripheral Adapter cable (part # 590-0553) can be used.



Step 3

------

From the Chooser, verify the following:

- ImageWriter driver is selected

- AppleTalk is off

- The correct port is selected



If this does not work, you may want to start looking for hardware failures:

Try the ImageWriter on another computer, then try another printer with your

computer.
