Step 1:

Installing the printer software

IMPORTANT

Do not “drag install” the printer software. If you do, the files

won’t be properly decompressed and won’t work.

Installing from the CD-ROM disc

1

Quit any programs you are running.

2

Turn off any automatic virus-detection programs you have on your computer.

If you don’t, problems may occur during the installation. After installation is
complete, you can turn the virus-detection programs back on. (For
instructions on turning off each virus-detection program, see the manual that
came with the program, or telephone the manufacturer of the program.)

3

Insert the

Apple LaserWriter CD-ROM disc into the CD-ROM drive.

The disc’s icon appears on the desktop.

Note: Some systems require you to place the disc into a caddy before
inserting it into the CD-ROM drive.

4

Double-click the disc icon to open the disk, if necessary.

5

Double-click the MAC_OS folder, if necessary.

6

Double-click the SOFTWARE folder, if necessary.

7

Double-click the INSTALL folder, if necessary.

8

Read the Before You Install file to check for late-breaking news.

9

Double-click the Installer icon to start the Installer program.

After a moment, a Welcome dialog box appears.

10

Click Continue.

After a moment, the Install dialog box appears. At the top of the dialog box is
a pop-up menu set to allow you to perform an Easy Install.

Easy Install installs all the software you need. It installs the LaserWriter 8
software, the Desktop PrintMonitor, and the Apple Printer Utility.

Custom Install lets you specify what portions of the software you would like
to install.
