Apple 12/600PS manual Selecting and setting up the printer, Close the Chooser

Selecting and setting up the printer

Before using your printer for the first time, you must select it in the Chooser. Once you select the printer in the Chooser, you won’t need to repeat this step unless you change printers or change the way your printer is connected.

1Choose the Chooser from the Apple (K) menu.

2In the Chooser dialog box, click items to select them.

First, click this icon. (If necessary, use the scroll bar and arrows to find the icon.)

Second, if the network has zones, click one to select it.

Third, click the name of the printer you want to use.

If an icon appears beside the printer name, the printer software has already been set up.

Finally, click Setup.

(Or double-click the printer name—a shortcut.)

The Chooser identifies the type of printer and automatically sets up the printer software. A small printer icon appears beside the printer name.

3Close the Chooser.

After you close the Chooser, a desktop printer icon for the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS appears on the desktop. (If you don’t close the Chooser, the desktop printer won’t be created.) If you want, you can repeat steps 1 through 3, selecting and setting up other printers on your desktop for easy access.

The last desktop printer you create becomes the default printer.

(Its icon has a bold outline.)

A desktop printer icon cannot be moved off the desktop (unless you throw it away); however, you can move it anywhere on the desktop that you like.
