Identifying and initializing hard disks
You assign each disk a SCSI ID number by setting the SCSI ID switch on the back panel of the
disk.
___________________________________________________________
Important-All SCSI devices must be assigned an ID number from 0 to 7. Each device must have a
unique number.
___________________________________________________________
1. Turn the hard disk off.
2. Insert the point of a pushpin or an unwound paper clip into the hole below the switch.
3. Push gently until the number you want appears.
4. If you go past the number you want, keep pushing until it comes around again.
You initialize the disks simply by choosing the Initialize Disk command from the File menu
while using the Font Utility application on the LaserWriter II Installation Disk.
___________________________________________________________
Important-The LaserWriter IIntx regards all attached hard disks as a single logical unit.
Therefore, if you add a disk to the system, you'll have to reinitialize all your disks and rebuild
your font storage. The font cache rebuilds itself automatically.
Also, all disks must be turned on when you want to use any one of them. Otherwise the
LaserWriter IIntx won't recognize them.

Appendix B: Connecting the LaserWriter II to an Apple II
__________________________________________________________________
You can connect a LaserWriter II to an Apple IIgs using thep LocalTalk cable system. You can
also connect your printer to an Apple IIe in exactly the same fashion, provided you have
installed an Apple II Workstation Card. See the Apple II Workstation Card User's Guide for
details.
___________________________________________________________
Connecting to the computer
You connect the LaserWriter II to an Apple II using LocalTalk connector boxes, just as you would
connect it to a Macintosh. These connectors link computers and peripheral devices in a
LocalTalk cable system. For more information about creating a network, refer to the LocalTalk
Cable System Owner's Guide.
1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are switched off.
2. Plug a LocalTalk connector box into the LocalTalk port on the LaserWriter II.
3. Plug a second connector box into the printer port on the Apple II.
4. Connect the two connector boxes with a LocalTalk cable.
___________________________________________________________
Setting the Control Panel
In order for the computer to use the LocalTalk cable system, the Control Panel must be set for
AppleTalk.
