Which chapters should I read?

There are five main steps to preparing the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS it so
any user can print on it. Although you could do some steps in a different
order, these steps are organized to simplify troubleshooting.

Step 1:

Set up the hardware and connect the printer.

Chapter 1 explains how to unpack the printer, install everything you need
(toner cartridges, photoconductor, toner disposal box, and fuser oil), load
paper, and connect the printer to your network. At the end of the chapter, you
turn on the printer and it prints a startup page, assuring you that the printer
engine and controller board work correctly.

Step 2:

Configure the printer for a network connection or for a

direct connection.

The next three chapters (plus Appendix B) explain how to configure the
printer on different networks or set it up by a direct connection:
