Apple 12/640PS manual Creating installation disks from the CD-ROM disc, Click the Install button

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 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.

10Click the Install button.

The Installer takes a few moments to calculate what needs to be done and then begins to copy files.

11Follow the instructions on the screen until the installation is complete.

After the installation, the Installer tells you to restart your computer.

12Click the Restart button.

The software is now installed on the hard disk. If you turned off any automatic virus-detection programs on your computer, turn them back on now.

After you restart, you may notice a new icon on your desktop, one that represents a desktop printer.

You will also see the Apple LaserWriter Software folder on your hard disk. This folder contains the Apple Printer Utility and Read Me files.

Creating installation disks from the CD-ROM disc

You can create installation floppy disks from the CD-ROM disc if you don’t want to give the disc to your users, or if some of your user systems don’t have a CD-ROM drive. You’ll need nine blank floppy disks. To create installation disks, follow these steps:

1Insert 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.

2Double-click the disc icon to open the disc, if necessary.

3Double-click the MACINTOSH folder, if necessary.
