If you don’t, problems may occur during the installation. After installation is complete, you can turn the virus-detection programs back on.

Insert the LaserWriter 12/640 PS Software Installation CD-ROM disc into the

CD-ROM drive.

The disc’s icon appears on the desktop.

Note: Some systems require you to place the disc into a caddy before inserting it into the CD-ROM drive.

Double-click the disc icon to open the disk, if necessary.

Double-click the MACINTOSH folder, if necessary.

Double-click the INSTALL folder, if necessary.

Read the Before You Install file to check for late-breaking news.

Double-click the Installer icon to start the Installer program.

After a moment, a Welcome dialog box appears.

9Click 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.

Easy Install installs all the software you need. It installs the LaserWriter 8 software, the Desktop PrintMonitor, and the Apple Printer Utility.

Custom Install lets you specify what portions of the software you would like to install.
