Section 4 - Confirming the installation of RAM

These steps confirm that the printer recognizes the additional memory:

1.

Switch on the printer.

2.

Press the On Line button on the control panel; you’ll see the message “Off Line”

in the display panel.

3.

Press the Menu key four times; “Printer Info” appears in the display panel.

4.

Press the Enter key; you’ll see the total amount of RAM that the printer

recognizes. If this is the same as the new total of RAM, press the On Line key

and the printer goes back on line.

If this figure is not the same as the total amount of RAM, turn the printer off, and remove the

side cover. Repeat from step 14 (Elite 12) or step 11 (Elite XL 20) in the previous steps, starting

from “If the ready message doesn’t appear . . .”

Macintosh that uses the printer.

Click the LaserWriter 8 icon in the upper left area of the Chooser. You’ll see the

a PostScript printer.” If the name is not highlighted, click on it to highlight it.

4. Click on the Setup button. You’ll see the Setup dialog box.

5.

Click on the Auto Setup button. You’ll see a message box telling you that the

computer is communicating with the printer.
