Before you begin
This chapter presents instructions for installing the Mac OS printer software
and configuring the printer with it. Before you begin, make sure
you have
m
set up the printer as described in Chapter 1
m
connected the printer to your network
m
made backup copies of the printer disks (if your printer software was
shipped on a CD-ROM disc, you can skip this step)
Be sure to complete these tasks before continuing with the procedures in
this chapter.
System requirements
To use the printer software, your Mac OS computer must have system software
version 7.1 or later and at least 4 megabytes (MB) of memory (8 MB
recommended). If your system software is an earlier version, you need to
obtain a system software upgrade from your computer or software dealer.
Installing all the printer software and fonts requires approximately 9 MB of
free space on your hard disk.
Initial AppleTalk setup
The LaserWriter 12/640 PS comes with software and fonts for use with
Mac OS computers. Before Mac OS users can print with the LaserWriter
12/640 PS, the printer administrator must connect the printer to the network,
install the printer software and fonts, and configure the printer.
