Apple 12/640PS manual Desktop printer icon has an X drawn through it

The desktop printer icon has an X drawn through it.

The X indicates that the desktop printing software is turned off or the LaserWriter 8 extension is not in the Extensions folder.

mYou may have started the computer using a different startup disk or temporarily turned off all the software extensions. When you restart the computer as usual, the icons will return to normal.

mYou may have removed the desktop printing software that created the printer icons. If you meant to do so, you can drag the icons to the Trash or to any folder outside the Extensions folder. If not, you can reinstall the software as explained in Chapter 2.

The desktop printing software needs more memory on the computer.

If the Desktop PrintMonitor needs more memory, try closing open windows and quitting open programs. Each desktop printer that you use also requires memory, so try reducing the number of desktop printer icons on your desktop by dragging desktop printers you no longer need to the Trash. You can also allocate more memory to the Desktop PrintMonitor. To allocate more memory, open the Extensions folder in your System Folder and select the Desktop PrintMonitor icon. Choose Get Info from the File menu and enter a larger amount of memory in the Preferred Size box, then close the

Get Info box.

I want to turn the manual feed message on or off.

When you install the printer software, the Desktop PrintMonitor is set up to notify you about manually feeding paper the same way your PrintMonitor was set. For example, if you turned off notification for manual feeding in your PrintMonitor, the Desktop PrintMonitor will also have manual feed notification turned off.

If you want to change how the Desktop PrintMonitor notifies you about manual feeding, follow this procedure:

1Select the desktop printer icon.

2Choose Show Manual Feed Alert from the Printing menu.

A checkmark by this command means that manual feed message is on.
