Restarting the printer

You may need to restart the printer to clear its memory if you have any
problems printing. For information on troubleshooting printing problems, see
Chapters 11 and 12.

1

Choose Restart Printer from the Utilities menu.

A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm that you want to restart the
selected printer.

2

Click Restart.

It takes a few minutes for the printer to restart and be ready to print.

The same effect can be achieved by turning the printer off and then on again.

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 before you
restart it.

you can configure it. For example,

m

the printer is on a different network segment than the file server

m

the printer’s Ethernet frame type is not the frame type that your want to
use (See the “Novell Netware Troubleshooting” section in Chapter 13 for
more information.)

2

Start the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows.

3
