Step 1: Installing the software the printer administrator needs

To install the printer software on a Macintosh computer, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT Do not “drag install” the printer software. If you do, the files won’t be properly decompressed and won’t work.

1Turn off any automatic virus-detection programs you have on your Macintosh computer.

If you don’t, problems may occur during the installation. After installation is complete, you can turn the virus-detection programs back on. (For instructions on turning off each virus-detection program, see the manual that came with the program, or telephone the manufacturer of the program.)

2Press and hold down the Shift key, then choose Restart from the Special menu.

When a message on the screen tells you that the extensions are off, you can release the Shift key. Your extensions have been turned off. When you restart the Macintosh after software installation, the extensions will turn on again.

3Make sure the printer software disks are locked.

4Insert Printer Disk 1 for Macintosh into a disk drive.

If necessary, open the disk icon.

5To start the Installer program, double-click its icon.

6In the Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue.

After a moment, the Install dialog box appears. At the top of the dialog box is a pop-up menu set to allow you to perform an Easy install.

IMPORTANT The Installer checks to make sure you have what you need to use the printer software. If you’re missing anything, a message tells you what you need. You won’t be able to install the printer software until you correct the problem. If a dialog box says you don’t have the correct system software, you can purchase a new version from an Apple-authorized dealer.
