Installing the Windows printer software

To install the Windows printer software (if not already installed by your system administrator), follow these steps. These instructions assume that you have a mouse or similar pointing device.

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

You lock a disk by sliding up its write-protection tab. The disk is locked when 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.

4Read the README.TXT file on Printer Disk 1 for Windows to check for late-breaking news.

You can do this with Windows Notepad or another word processor.

5From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

6Type a:\setup or b:\setup (depending on which drive holds your installation disk) in the command line field and click OK.

After a few moments, a welcome message is displayed that allows you to select Express Installation or Custom Installation, or De-Install.

Express Installation installs all the software you need to print with your Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS. It creates the Apple LaserWriter Software program group and installs within it the ReadMe file, Apple Print Monitor for Windows, and the Apple Printer Utility for Windows, used to name the printer and perform various printer administrative functions.

Custom Installation lets you specify what portions of the software you would like to install. De-Install lets you remove previously installed LaserWriter software.
