Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS - Manual (Page 39)

Step 4: Making sure everything is working
The best way to make sure everything is set up correctly is to print something.
As a simple print test, open and print one of the Read Me files that is in the
Apple LaserWriter Software folder.
1 Locate the Apple Printer Software Read Me file in the Apple LaserWriter Software folder.
2 Open the Apple Printer Software Read Me file and choose Print from the File menu
(or drag the Read Me file to the desktop printer icon and drop it on the printer).
The Print dialog box appears. If the LaserWriter 12/640 PS printer’s name
does not appear in the dialog box, see “Step 2: Choosing the Printer.”
3 Click Print.
If the document doesn’t print, check the steps you followed in Chapter 1 for
connecting and turning on the printer. Also check that you have followed all
the software installation steps presented in this chapter. Make sure that you
have installed the toner cartridge and loaded paper into the paper cassette.
Check that no packing material or paper has caused a jam in the printer.
If the printer still will not print, turn to the troubleshooting chapters.
Indicator lights on the front of the printer blink to signal different errors and
printing conditions, such as out of paper or a paper jam. You can also double-
click the desktop printer icon to check the status messages that appear in the
Desktop PrintMonitor.
Configuring the printer
You may change some of the printer’s default settings using the Apple Printer
Utility. For more information on the Apple Printer Utility, see Appendix A. If
you want to install any options, see Chapter 5. Then you can install the
printer software on Mac OS–based computers on your network as explained
in “Installing the Software From a Server,” next.
