Setting up for parallel port printing

Your LaserWriter 12/640 PS printer uses a standard parallel port. By default,
your printer’s parallel port is ready to receive data, and you should not need
to make any changes to either your computer’s or the printer’s parallel
port setting.

Installing the printer software for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1

You must install the printer software on each computer that will print to the
printer. You can do so by using the installation program that comes on the
software disks included with the printer.

Note: Be sure you have Windows on your computer, before installing the
printer software.

To install the Windows printer software, follow these steps. These instructions
assume that you have a mouse or similar pointing device. If you do not, see
the instructions that came with Windows to find out how to perform these
steps using a keyboard.
