Setting additional parameters with the Apple Printer Utility for Windows
The printer has default settings for both parallel and Ethernet physical
configurations. If you want to view the printer’s configuration information or
change any of the settings, you must use the Apple Printer Utility.
The printer itself has no control panel, but you can set features on it remotely
by using programs on computers that can communicate with the printer:
m On Macintosh computers, use the Apple Printer Utility and the Chooser’s
setup function, which are described in Chapter 2.
m On IBM PC and compatible computers, use the Apple Printer Utility for
Windows, described in this chapter.
The Apple Printer Utility program lets you change the default settings that
control how various aspects of the printer work. The utility is placed in the
Apple LaserWriter Software program group when the printer software is
installed. Use it to set optional printer parameters that you want to use for all
documents.
To change printer settings for a specific document (without changing the
printer’s basic defaults), use the Print and Print Setup dialog boxes. Network
users should use the Print and Print Setup dialog boxes to choose the
individual settings for their documents.
