1. Check the Macintosh status messages. The status messages tell you if someone else is
currently using the printer. They also alert you to problems such as paper jams. If anyone on
the network is using the wrong software, you’ll see a status message instructing you to
reinitialize the printer. Everyone on the network must use the same printer resource.
2. Go through the entire printing process. Select the LaserWriter II in the Chooser, and
respond to any dialog boxes; choose Print from the File menu and confirm the settings in the
Print dialog box.
3. Check the status lights and the toner cartridge. Follow the steps in "The LaserWriter II
Won’t Print A Test Page" and "The Test Page Is Blank" earlier in this chapter.

Checking the LocalTalk cable system
If you or someone else on the AppleTalk network system can’t find a LaserWriter II in the
Chooser after selecting the LaserWriter II as the printer type, and if everyone is using the most
current printer software, the problem is usually with the LocalTalk cable system. Try the
following steps:
1. Check to see that the LocalTalk connector box is firmly attached to the Macintosh.
2. Using a startup disk with the LaserWriter II printer resource installed, start the computers
on either side of the one with the problem, and check for the LaserWriter II icon in the
Chooser. If you find the LaserWriter II, the problem lies between the computer that shows the
LaserWriter II and the computer that does not.
3. Check all connections in the affected section of the network.
4. Check the layout of the network.
Check for cables not attached to a LocalTalk connector box, and reconnect as necessary.
Check to make sure that the network forms a line, not a loop.
Check to make sure that the first and last LocalTalk connector boxes have only one cable leading
to each.

Correcting paper jams
The printer’s paper path is quite straight, so paper jams are uncommon, especially in the
automatic feed mode. If you don’t adjust the paper guide accurately during manual feed, paper
may jam. To correct a paper jam:
1. Open the printer to see where the jam is.
2. If the jam is in the cassette area, pull the cassette out of the printer until you can release the
paper.
3. If the jam is around the print feed area, open the transfer paper lock and free the paper.
4. If the jam is in the fixing roller assembly unit, first open the green felt cover and then pull
the paper out.
___________________________________________________________
Warning-If the printer has been in use, the felt cover may be hot, and the fixing rollers will be
very hot.
