    Networking a Riso GR3750 to Mac

    Hi there,

    I'm a newbie to both this site and to Riso's in general.

    I recently bought a Riso GR3750 from a commercial printers and am struggling to link the machine up to either a Mac or PC.

    I have a GR3750 and a SC3000 with all the relevant cables to attach it to a Mac/PC. The cable that is running to the computer is a USB.

    I have all of the drivers that the commercial printers used and they showed the Riso print a copy from their own PC's before dismantling, but as of yet I haven't managed to link the Riso up with either a PC or a Mac. The Riso and the computers just don't seem to recognize each other.

    I've read every post I can to see a way to solve this, but I couldn't find a clear answer.

    With the equipment I have will I be able to link the Riso to a Mac, or is PC the way forward with this?

    Any help you can give me is appreciated.

    Thanks

      Did they give you the Risorinc software? I have connected a Riso (better still a Riso that old) to a pc (or a mac) in a long long time. I don't remmber ever doing it via usb either. Don't think I would want too as its probably only usb 1.1 and slow. Also, I believe you need the PS chip in it to print with the Mac. I take it you've been to riso's web site.
      Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

          Hi RRodgers,

          I've heard about the PS chip and did wonder whether that would be needed. I looked inside the SC3000 and there isn't currently one installed.

          As for Riso's website, I've got the relevant drivers for Windows via the printer I bought it from. I haven't found anything on the Riso website as of yet that is of any help.

          What would you say is the simplest and most effective way to connect the Riso to a PC (nevermind Mac's, off what you say I feel it's not worth pursuing)?

          Thank you for responding.
