Note: Check your printer Readme files for notes about your printer.

The Macintosh Utilities diskette contains the following files. Copy the contents to your hard drive.

! IMPORTANT!—provides important details that an administrator MUST be aware of. It also includes steps for verifying that your printer and NIC are functional on your network.
