Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 66)

the printer into either the modem port or the serial port on the back of your
Macintosh; and (3) to use the printer in the Apple IIe environment, you may
have to print through one of the Serial Cards instead of the Printer Card.
This appendix pertains only to printers designed for use with the Macintosh,
so if the only printer you're connecting is an Apple IIe printer manufactured
by a company other than Apple, you should skip the rest of this appendix.
Installing the Software for Your Printer
To install the software for your printer, you must first make room on the IIe
Startup Disk and then follow the software installation instructions that came
with your printer, as described in these steps:
Before you begin: Turn your Macintosh LC off.
1. Insert the IIe Startup Disk.
2. Turn on your Macintosh.
3. Open the IIe Startup Disk by double-clicking its icon.
4. Open the System Folder by double-clicking its icon.
You may have to use the scroll bars to see the System Folder.
5. Drag the following four icons to the Trash.
These icons represent the software for several printers. By throwing them
away, you'll make room for your printer software.
If you have a LaserWriter or an ImageWriter connected to your Macintosh, you
can leave the appropriate icon or icons on the disk.
6. If you have an Apple StyleWriter, see the section that follows, "Special
Instructions for the StyleWriter." Otherwise, see the instructions that came
with your printer to install the software.
Some manuals might call this "installing the print driver." Usually it
involves dragging one or two icons from the disk supplied with the printer
into the System Folder. Many Apple printers use the Installer program to do
the copying.
!! IMPORTANT: Remember, you are installing the software on the IIe Startup
Disk, not on your hard disk (if you have one). !!
7. When you're finished, select the printer in the Chooser, as described in
"Setting Up the Printer Software" in Chapter 2.
Special instructions for the StyleWriter
The installation method described in the owner's manual for the StyleWriter
requires more disk space than is available on the IIe Startup Disk. Follow
these instructions to prepare the IIe Startup Disk for printing on a
StyleWriter.
Before you begin: Make sure you've thrown away the appropriate files, as
described in the previous section, "Installing the Software for Your
