More information about the Installer program

In the procedure just described, the Installer places all the software you need onto your hard disk. In rare circumstances, you may want to install only a subset. For example, you may not want to install the Apple Printer Utility on your users’ systems because this utility changes the settings for the printer for all users. In that case, choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu in the Installer. A list of choices appears. To install something from the list, click to select it, then click the Install button. (There is also a Custom Remove feature.)

Step 2: Choosing the printer

Before you can print with the printer, you must use the Chooser to select the printer and set up the printer software. You only have to set up the printer software once, when you first select it. You don’t need to do it again unless you add or remove LaserWriter 12/640 PS options, such as adding an optional duplex printing unit or increasing memory (see Chapter 5).

1 Choose the Chooser from the Apple (K) menu.

The Chooser window appears.

2 In the Chooser dialog box, click items to select them.

First, click this icon. (If necessary, use the scroll bar and arrows to find the icon.)

Second, if the network has zones, click the zone where the printer is located.

Third, click the name of the printer you want to use. (An icon beside a printer name means the printer software has already been set up.)

Finally, click Create (or double-click the printer name—a shortcut).

3 Close the Chooser.
