owner’s guide if you have any questions about creating a startup disk.
___________________________________________________________
Important-Be sure to make copies of the LaserWriter II Installation Disk and the LaserWriter
IInt/ntx Fonts Disk to use in the installation process. Store the originals in a safe place. Your
Macintosh owner’s guide has instructions on copying disks.

Installing the printer resource
You can install the printer resource on as many startup disks as you need. It’s a good idea to
update all disks at the same time, to avoid having some disks with outdated software. If you’re
installing on a hard disk, you’ll follow the same procedure, but you should have to do it only
once.
___________________________________________________________
Important-Your startup disks should all contain the latest available version of the Macintosh
system software. To verify that you have the most recent version, or to update software,
contact your authorized Apple dealer.
___________________________________________________________
1. Start the Macintosh with a startup disk.
2. Insert the LaserWriter II Installation Disk and open the disk icon.
Select the icon and choose Open from the File menu, or double-click the icon.
You’ll use the LaserWriter icon along with the Laser Prep icon to install the printer resource
for both the LaserWriter IInt and the LaserWriter IIntx. The Font/DA Mover and the Namer are
discussed later in this chapter. The TeachText and Read Me icons open files containing
supplemental information. You can disregard the LaserWriter IIsc icon.
3. Drag the LaserWriter and Laser Prep icons to the startup disk icon. See your Macintosh
owner’s guide if you need information about dragging icons from one disk to another.
4. Open the startup disk icon. You’ll see the LaserWriter and Laser Prep icons on the desktop.
5. Drag the LaserWriter and Laser Prep icons to the System Folder. This completes the
installation procedure. You can now repeat it with another startup disk or proceed to install
fonts.

Naming the LaserWriter II
If your AppleTalk network system includes more than one LaserWriter II, you’ll find it
convenient to give each one a distinguishing name. These names appear in the Chooser desk
accessory whenever you choose LaserWriter II as the printer type.
1. Start the Macintosh with a startup disk.
2. Insert the LaserWriter II Installation Disk.
3. Open the Namer. You’ll see the LaserWriter II listed (as LaserWriter IInt or IIntx) in the
Namer dialog box.
4. Select the name LaserWriter IInt or IIntx.
5. Type in the new name, and click Rename.
You can use this procedure to name (or rename) all LaserWriter II printers on the network. Be
sure to tell everyone who uses the network what the new names are, so that they can find the
