Technical information

Using the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows
The Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows program lets you change the
default settings that control how various aspects of the printer work. The
utility is placed in the Apple LaserWriter Software program group when the
printer software is installed (use Custom Installation to install the Apple
LaserWriter Utility for Windows). Use it to set optional printer parameters
that you want to use for all documents.
IMPORTANT Be sure the printer you want to configure is selected as the default
printer before you open the Apple LaserWriter Utility for Windows. If the
printer is on a network shared by other users, make sure no one else is
configuring the printer at the same time.
To change printer settings for a specific document (without changing the
printer’s basic default settings), use the Print and Print Setup dialog boxes.
Network users should use the Print and Print Setup dialog boxes to choose
the individual settings for their documents.
