Apple 6500 manual Power Macintosh users and virtual memory, Installation troubleshooting

Installation troubleshooting

If the Installer can’t complete the installation, it will issue a warning message. Here are some ways to fix common problems:

mYou may not have the correct hardware or system software for this printer. If so, the Installer will tell you what you’re missing.

mYou may have forgotten to turn off your virus-detection software as described in the section “Using the Apple Printer Software Collection CD-ROM disc,” earlier in this chapter.

mYou may have some corrupted fonts on your hard disk. To solve this problem, see “Installation Is Unsuccessful” in Chapter 6.

More information about the Installer program

In the procedure just described, the Installer copies all the software you need to your hard disk. In rare circumstances you may want to copy only a subset of the software. In that case choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu in the Installer. When a list of choices appears, select the items you wish to install, then click the Install button. (Click the letter i to the right of any of the choices for information.)

Power Macintosh users and virtual memory

If you are using a Power Macintosh computer, you may want to turn on virtual memory before you try to print on the Color StyleWriter 6500. Then choose a setting that’s at least 1 MB higher than your “Available built-in memory.” (You can set it higher without any ill effects.) With this setting, you will avoid some potential printing problems. Turning on virtual memory also reduces the amount of memory needed by many applications. For instructions on turning on virtual memory, see the documentation that came with your computer.
