TI-GRAPH LINK 2 for Macintosh is compatible with all TI
graphing calculators that have an input/output port, with
the following exceptions. The TI-82 and TI-85 are not
compatible.
When new graphing calculators with I/O ports are released
by TI, the TI-GRAPH LINK software will be updated to
support those calculators.
To see which calculators are compatible with your version
of the TI-GRAPH LINK software, open the Connection
menu. If your calculator is not listed in the menu, check
the TI web site at:
http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/link.htm
for updated TI-GRAPH LINK software.
You can also use TI-GRAPH LINK 2 to open a connection
to the CBRè(Computer-Based Ranger) accessory,
available separately.
However, you cannot open a connection to the CBLè
(Computer-Based Laboratory) accessory.
The Macintosh used to run TI-GRAPH LINK 2 must meet
the following hardware and software requirements.
• Macintosh Plus running System 7.1 or better.
• 4 MB of available RAM.
Note: You will not be able to drag items to or from the
Finder or other applications on systems running any
Macintosh operating system versions earlier than 7.5.
However, Add and Save Selection commands in the File
menu allow this functionality.

You can set a default that will print headers on lab reports
and other documents that you print from your Macintosh
using TI-GRAPH LINK.
To set Print Headers preference:
1. Open the Edit menu, then select Preferences.
2. From the drop-down list, select Printing Extras, click
Print Page Headers, and click OK.
To set the sorting (View by) preference:
1. Open the Edit menu and click Preferences.
2. In the View by line, select Name, Kind, or Size, and
click OK.
Resolution does not affect how a screen is displayed in
TI-GRAPH LINK. However, many desktop publishing and
graphic applications use resolution (dots per inch, dpi) to
set the size of the screen when printed.
Before capturing a screen, open the Edit menu, click
Preferences, select Pictures from the drop-down list, and
then select the resolution.

resolution of 72 dpi
makes the picture
