Before you begin

Set up the printer as described in Chapter 1, remembering to

munpack and prepare the printer

mconnect the printer to your NetWare network using Ethernet cables or through a direct parallel connection to a PC (To connect the printer directly to your IBM PC or compatible computer, you must use a special parallel interface cable, part number M4235ZM/A, available separately from your Apple dealer.)

mplug in and turn on the printer (Keep the startup page that automatically prints out. It provides the default printer name you need for setup.)

Installing the software the printer administrator needs

As the printer administrator, you must install the printer software on each computer that will print to the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS. To do this, use the installation program that comes on the software disks included with the printer.

The instructions that follow assume that you have a mouse or similar pointing device.

1Find the Windows disks that came with the printer and make sure they’re write- protected.

Slide up the write-protection tab in one corner of the floppy disk so that you can see through the hole.

2Start Windows.

Before installing the software, make sure the Windows Control Panel and Printers control panel are closed.

3Insert Printer Disk 1 for Windows into a floppy disk drive.
