Installing the printer software
Before you can print, you may need to install the software from
the disks that came with your printer. To protect the disks, it is a
good practice to lock them before use. See your Macintosh User’s
Guide for information on locking floppy disks.
v Is your software already installed? Some Macintosh
computers come with printer software already installed on the
hard disk. If your computer has the LaserWriter 300 software
already installed, you do not need to install the printer
software. v
To see if your computer already has the LaserWriter 300 software,
open the Apple (K) menu and choose the Chooser. If the
LaserWriter 300 software is on your hard disk, the LaserWriter 300
icon will appear in the Chooser.
If you see the LaserWriter 300 icon, skip this section of this book,
and go on to Chapter 2, “Adding Toner and Paper.”
System requirements
The printer software can operate on a Macintosh using System 7
with at least 2 MB of memory, or System 6.0.7 with at least 1 MB of
memory. Performance is best using System 7 with at least 4 MB of
memory, or System 6.0.7 with at least 2 MB of memory.
If your system software is an earlier version, you need to obtain a
system software upgrade from your computer or software dealer.
