Apple 12/600PS manual Which chapters should I read?, Set up the hardware and connect the printer

Which chapters should I read?

There are five main steps to preparing the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS it so any user can print on it. Although you could do some steps in a different order, these steps are organized to simplify troubleshooting.

Step 1: Set up the hardware and connect the printer.

Chapter 1 explains how to unpack the printer, install everything you need (toner cartridges, photoconductor, toner disposal box, and fuser oil), load paper, and connect the printer to your network. At the end of the chapter, you turn on the printer and it prints a startup page, assuring you that the printer engine and controller board work correctly.

Step 2: Configure the printer for a network connection or for a direct connection.

The next three chapters (plus Appendix B) explain how to configure the printer on different networks or set it up by a direct connection:

Chapter	Computer	Network interface and cable
Chapter 2	Macintosh	AppleTalk on LocalTalk cables
		AppleTalk on Ethernet cables (EtherTalk)
Chapter 3	DOS and Windows	Apple Print Monitor for Windows or
		Novell NetWare on Ethernet cables
	DOS and Windows	Direct connection by a parallel cable
Chapter 4	UNIX	TCP/IP on Ethernet cables
Appendix B	Macintosh	ATPS, NetWare for Macintosh on LocalTalk
		or Ethernet cables
