Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS - Manual (Page 31)

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 12/660 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 of
the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual 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 of the
Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual. 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 Chapter 2 of
the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual. If you want to install any
options, see Chapter 5 of the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual. Then
you can set up Mac OS–based computers on your network as explained in
“Installing the Software From a Server,” next.
