Installing your printer software

The disks that come with the Color StyleWriter 1500 contain the printer
software and an Installer program that copies the software onto your hard
disk. You need the printer software to use the printer. Before you can print
your documents, you need to install the printer software on your Macintosh.

The Installer program installs the new printing software you need, plus any
fonts that come with the printer (see Appendix C for a list of available fonts).
If you use Apple’s QuickDraw GX software, it will also install new
QuickDraw GX software for the Color StyleWriter 1500.

Note: If you ever upgrade your system software (for example, from System 7.1
to System 7.5), you must reinstall the Color StyleWriter 1500 software.

Step-by-step installation instructions

These instructions tell you how to restart your computer with the extensions
turned off (which prevents incompatible software from interfering with the
installation) and how to use the Installer program.

Before you begin: Lock all the disks by turning each one over and sliding the
small, square plastic tab in the corner so you can see through the hole. (The
disks may already be locked.)

1

Quit any programs you are running.

2

While holding down the Shift key on the keyboard, choose Restart from the Special

menu. Don’t release the Shift key until you see the “Extensions off” message on your

screen.

3

After you see the Macintosh desktop, insert

Color StyleWriter 1500 Disk 1 into a floppy

disk drive.

4

To start the Installer program, double-click its icon.

You may have to open the disk icon to see the Installer icon.
