MacElite Setup Guide
This brief setup guide is provided to get the MacElite operational out of the box. Once you get the
system operational, complete on line help can be accessed from the PDF manual located in the
Discribe application folder.
Step 1
Unpacking the Hardware
:
Your system was shipped in 1 box containing the MacElite unit, USB to serial adapter, software and
cables. If you purchased the CD Printer, it was shipped in a separate box.
Carefully open the box and remove the top protective cardboard sheet. You will then be able to remove
the following:
1. CD Pick Arm
2. Printer Control Cable
3. Printer USB Cable
4. USB to Serial adapter with attached USB Cable
5. DB9 Serial Cable (attached to the USB to Serial adapter)
6. Fire
Wire
Cable
7. AC Power Cord
8. Software and Manual
Set the components on the table that will hold both the MacElite unit and your Macintosh. Next, by
lifting straight up, carefully remove the foam container and foam protection over the MacElite unit. You
will see the MacElite in a plastic bag. The MacElite has lifting hand holders on either side. Use these to
remove the MacElite from the box and place it on the table. Remove the MacElite from its bag. Place all
shipping components back into the shipping carton for future use.
NOTE:
It is important to always ship the MacElite in its proper container; so, storage of the box and
accessories is necessary. In the event you misplace your packaging and need to ship the MacElite,
contact the service department. A new shipping container will be shipped out; however there will be a
small charge for it.
Next, remove the printer from its shipping carton. Place all these components on the table.
Account for all the components and proceed to installation of the CD Pick Arm.
