Installing your printer software

Before you can print your documents, you need to install the printer software on your Macintosh. The disks that come with the Color StyleWriter 2500 contain the printer software and an Installer program.

The Installer program installs the new printing software you need, plus any fonts that come with the printer (see Appendix C for a list of available fonts). If you use Apple’s special QuickDraw GX software, it will also install new QuickDraw GX software for the Color StyleWriter 2500.

Note: If you ever upgrade your system software (for example, from System 7.1 to System 7.5), you must reinstall the Color StyleWriter 2500 software.

Step-by-step installation instructions

These instructions tell you how to restart your computer with the extensions turned off (which prevents incompatible software from interfering with the installation) and how to use the Installer program.
