Installing from the floppy disks

Find the Windows disks that contain the printer software 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.

Start Windows.

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

Insert LaserWriter Disk 1 for Windows 3.1 into a floppy disk drive. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

Type 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 message appears warning you to close all other applications before continuing with this installation.

6Click Continue if you have no other open applications.

If you have open applications, click Exit to stop this installation. Close all other applications and start the installation process again.

A message appears that lets you view the README.WRI file for late- breaking news.

7Click Yes to view the README.WRI file.

8When you have finished reading the README.WRI file, choose Exit from the File menu in the Microsoft Write application.

A welcome message is displayed that allows you to select Express Installation, Custom Installation, Printer Driver Only, or De-Install.

Express Installation installs all the software you need. It creates the Apple LaserWriter Software program group and installs within it the PostScript driver, a ReadMe file, and the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows, which you use to name the printer and perform various printer administrative functions.
