Connecting Serial Devices
Special instructions for users using Mac®OS 8.1 and 8.5
If you are using Mac®OS 8.1 or 8.5, you will need to specify the
port required by your device, which is either Printer Port or
Modem Port. Some serial devices require Printer Port Emulation
to work (some examples are HP DeskWriter Printers and Kodak
and Epson Cameras). These devices require Printer Port
Emulation to work because their drivers can only recognize the
Macintosh®computer printer port. For these devices the
following connection procedure should be followed:
1. Hold down the “Option” key on the keyboard while
connecting the USB Serial Adapter to the Mac®/
iMac™computer.
2. After the USB Serial Adapter for Macintosh®is connected,
then release the “Option” key.
3. Connect the printer, camera or serial device to the USB
Serial Adapter.
4. Run the printer or serial device software and the devices
should begin working.
5. In some cases, after restarting the computer, the printer or
camera may disconnect or stop working. To reconnect,
repeat steps 1 through 4.
Connecting Serial Devices (continued)
6
Note: If you do not know whether your device requires
Printer Port Emulation, simply connect your serial
device normally after the USB Serial Adapter driver
installation. If it does not work initially, it is possible
that the serial device requires Printer Port Emulation.
If so, follow steps 1 through 4 listed above.
For Mac®8.6 users you do not need to do the above
instructions. Mac®OS 8.6 has advanced USB support, it
automatically detects and installs the port emulation needed
by your device. After the installation of the Belkin USB Serial
Adapter, just connect the USB Serial Adapter to the
computer, then connect a Serial device to the USB Serial
Adapter and you are ready to use it.
