Apple 12/640PS manual Getting Mac OS users started using the printer, Printing a configuration

IMPORTANT If the LaserWriter 12/640 PS is on a network shared by other users, make sure that no one is attempting to use the printer when you restart it. If someone’s printing job is canceled, they must resubmit it. Manually downloaded fonts are removed from the printer’s RAM when you restart the printer.

Printing a configuration page

You can print a listing of the current configuration settings and other information about the printer. This page serves as a reference whenever you connect a computer to the printer.

mChoose Print Configuration Page from the Utilities menu.

Getting Mac OS users started using the printer

As soon as you connect the LaserWriter 12/640 PS printer to the network, it’s ready to use. In preparing to print on it, users follow the same basic steps that you did to install the software and set up the printer.

Each user

minstalls the printer software and fonts on the Mac OS computer

mselects and sets up the printer from the Chooser

You can get Mac OS users started with the printer and the new printer software in whatever way you’re used to. Chapter 6 explains to users how to install the software from the software disks or the CD. If you’d prefer not to pass around the software disks, you can place the software on a server, as explained in the next section. If you prefer, you can of course install the software on each user’s computer yourself. If you have the users install their own software, make sure you give them:

mthe printer software and instructions for installing it

mthe name of the AppleTalk zone on which the printer is located

mthe name you gave the LaserWriter 12/640 PS printer if you renamed it with the Apple Printer Utility
