Installing from the floppy disks

1

Find the Windows disks that contain the printer software and make sure they’re

write-protected.

Slide up the write-protection tab in one corner of the floppy disk so that you
can see through the hole.

2

Start Windows.

Before installing the software, make sure the Windows Control Panel and
Printers control panel are closed.

3

Insert

LaserWriter Disk 1 for Windows 3.1 into a floppy disk drive.

4

From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

5

Type

a:\setup or b:\setup

(depending on which drive holds your installation

disk) in the command line field and click OK.

After a few moments, a message appears warning you to close all other
applications before continuing with this installation.

6

Click Continue if you have no other open applications.

If you have open applications, click Exit to stop this installation. Close all
other applications and start the installation process again.

A message appears that lets you view the README.WRI file for late-
breaking news.

7

Click Yes to view the README.WRI file.

8

When you have finished reading the README.WRI file, choose Exit from the File menu in

the Microsoft Write application.

A welcome message is displayed that allows you to select Express Installation,
Custom Installation, Printer Driver Only, or De-Install.

Express Installation installs all the software you need. It creates the Apple
LaserWriter Software program group and installs within it the PostScript
driver, a ReadMe file, and the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows, which
you use to name the printer and perform various printer administrative
functions.
