Before you begin

Set up the printer as described in Chapter 1, remembering to

m unpack and prepare the printer
m connect the printer to your NetWare network using Ethernet cables or

through a direct parallel connection to a PC (To connect the printer directly
to your IBM PC or compatible computer, you must use a special parallel
interface cable, part number M4235ZM/A, available separately from your
Apple dealer.)

m plug in and turn on the printer (Keep the startup page that automatically

prints out. It provides the default printer name you need for setup.)

Installing the software the printer administrator needs

As the printer administrator, you must install the printer software on each
computer that will print to the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS. To do this, use
the installation program that comes on the software disks included with the
printer.

The instructions that follow assume that you have a mouse or similar pointing
device.

1

Find the Windows disks that came with the printer and make sure they’re write-

protected.

Slide up the write-protection tab in one corner of the floppy disk so that you
can see through the hole.

2

Start Windows.

Before installing the software, make sure the Windows Control Panel and
Printers control panel are closed.

3

Insert

Printer Disk 1 for Windows into a floppy disk drive.
