Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 65)

APPENDIX D-PARTS OF THE APPLE IIe CARD SOFTWARE
Whether you're a hard disk startup person or a floppy disk startup person,
your Apple IIe Card software is made up of the five files shown in this
appendix.
IIe Start up: The program that starts up the Apple IIe environment
IIe Prefs: The file that stores the choices you make in the Option Panel.
(The IIe Prefs file is created the first time you run the IIe Startup
program.)
IIe Startup and BASIC.SYSTEM: The two files that allow you to start up Apple
IIe programs by double-clicking their icons
ProDOS File System: The file that you must have in your System Folder in
order to see Apple IIe files and disks on your Macintosh desktop
APPENDIX E-INSTALLING PRINTER SOFTWARE FOR THE IIE STARTUP DISK
If you are a floppy disk startup person, you must have the correct printer
software installed on the IIe Startup Disk. The disk has the software for
many Apple printers already installed. If your printer's software is not on
the disk, you need to install it according to the instructions in this
appendix.
Is Your Printer's Software Already Installed?
The IIe Startup Disk comes with software for the following printers:
- ImageWriter II (with or without AppleTalk)
- All LaserWriter and LaserWriter II printers (except the LaserWriter SC and
the Personal LaserWriter printers)
If you have any of these printers, you do not have to continue with this
appendix. If your printer is not in this list, continue with the next
section.
Printers Connected to Original Apple IIe Computers
This section explains the details associated with using printers that have
previously been connected to an Apple IIe computer. If your printer was
purchased specifically for use with a Macintosh, skip this section and go to
"Installing Software for Your Printer."
Some printers connected to your original Apple IIe can readily be connected
to your Macintosh LC, while others cannot:
- Apple printers. If you have an ImageWriter printer or other printer
manufactured by Apple, it can be connected to your Macintosh in the standard
way. Go now to "Installing Software for Your Printer."
- Other printers. Other printers require special attention. Apple does not
recommend using these printers, but if you do, take into account the
following three points: (1) you can only use the printer when you're in the
Apple IIe environment; (2) you must have a special cable made so you can plug
