For specific steps on how a user can install the printer software on a Mac OS
computer and set up the printer from the Chooser, refer to “Installing the
Printer Software” and “Selecting and Setting Up the Printer” in Chapter 6.

Installing onto a server

If you prefer that users install their software from a network server rather
than passing around the original floppy disks or CD-ROM disc, you must
copy the LaserWriter installation software to a server as follows:

Preparing a server using the CD-ROM disc

The CD-ROM disc shipped with the LaserWriter 12/640 PS contains a
network installation folder. To prepare a server:

1

Insert the

LaserWriter 12/640 PS Software Installation CD-ROM disc into the

CD-ROM drive.

2

Double-click the disc icon, if necessary.

3

Double-click the MACINTOSH folder, if necessary.

4

Drag the INSTALL folder from the CD to your server.

Preparing a server using the floppy disks

1

Create a new folder on the server and rename it (for example, Network Install).

2

Insert

LaserWriter Disk 1 for Mac OS.

3

Drag the LaserWriter Disk 1 icon onto the icon of the folder.

IMPORTANT

You must drag the disk icon rather than copy the contents of the

disk directly.
