3 Tu rn on all devices in your SCSI chain. Then turn on your computer.
Important Always turn on all external SCSI devices connected to your Macintosh before
turning on the computer itself. Otherwise, your computer won’t recognize that the SCSI
devices are connected to it and your computer may not be able to start up.
4 Install any necessary device drivers (software that makes a device work with your computer).
Drivers needed for a SCSI device usually come on a floppy disk with the device. (If no drivers
come with the device, contact the device’s manufacturer.) Some older SCSI devices may
require updated drivers to work with your computer.
Note: If you experience problems after connecting a SCSI device, see the troubleshooting
information in the Mac OS Info Center and the Emergency Handbook for possible solutions.
Connecting a printer
Your computer has a printer port, which you use to connect a printer.
The printer port accepts either a direct cable connection (to printers such as most StyleWriter
models) or a network cable connection (to printers such as most LaserWriter models). A
printer can also be connected to the modem port.
See the manual that came with your printer for more detailed information and instructions
on setting up and using the printer. Your computer comes with most Apple printer software
(called “printer drivers”) already installed. If you are using a printer from a manufacturer
other than Apple, you may need to install a printer driver for the printer to work properly.
You use the Chooser to tell the computer which port you used to connect your printer. For
instructions on choosing a printer, open Mac OS Help (available in the Help menu) and look
up “printing” in the index.
