__________________________________________________________________
Warning-Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of the LaserWriter II or
similar products must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the
interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to handle any cables.

To clean the case, do the following:
1. Disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)
2. Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water. Use a mild soap or
detergent if necessary. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the LaserWriter II.

Starting up
1. Plug the printer in. The on/off switch and power cord port of the LaserWriter II are on the
left rear corner of the printer.
Make sure that the printer is switched off, and then insert the power cord into the port. Plug
the other end into a grounded three-hole AC outlet, and turn the printer on.
2. Check the test page. The printer takes a minute or two to warm up, and then it automatically
prints a test page. (It prints the test page every time you restart it.)
For this configuration, the top icon should say PostScript, and the second icon from the top
should say AppleTalk. If not, check the switch settings.
If the test page is spotty, switch the printer off and on again to print a second page. Try this two
or three times if necessary.
3. Check the status lights
The green Ready/In Use light will flash until the test page is printed. It then glows steadily. All
other lights should be off.

About printer software
In your LaserWriter II accessory kit you’ll find the LaserWriter II Installation Disk and the
LaserWriter IInt/ntx Fonts Disk.
The LaserWriter II Installation Disk contains the printer resource, the software that controls
printer operation. The LaserWriter IInt/ntx Fonts Disk contains the LaserWriter II screen
fonts.
You install the fonts and printer resource on startup disks. Startup disks contain the System
