Installing the Printer Software

About the Installer

Use the Installer to install the printer software on your system. The Installer copies the printer drivers (Serial and AppleTalk®) and background printing files to the correct locations in your System Folder. If the installer finds a file that has the same name as the one it is installing, it replaces that file with the most current version.

System 7.1 Installer Information

When the Installer installs the printer software on your hard disk, it also increases the Finder’s memory allocation to 400K for System 7.1 or newer versions. 

Using the Easy Install

The driver installer provides two options: Easy Install and Customize. Use the Easy Install option to install all  of the printer software in the correct locations on your hard disk. To use the Easy option, follow these steps:

1. Start or Restart your computer while holding down the Shift key.
     This turns off any system extensions that might cause 
     conflicts during the installation process.

2.  Insert the Driver Installation disk and double-click the Installer icon
      Click the "Continue" button.

3.  Read the licensing agreement and click "Accept" to continue
      or "Cancel" to quit the installation.

4.  Make sure that the destination disk named on the Installer 
      screen is the one on which you want to install the printer 
      software. If the wrong hard disk is named, click the
      "Switch Disk" button until the correct hard disk name appears.

5. Click on the drop down menu in the upper left corner and make 
     sure that "Easy Install" is selected.

6. Click the "Install" button to install the selected items.

7. The Installer may display a warning message, warning you
      to quit all applications before installation. Click the
      "Continue" button. This will automatically quit any currently 
      running applications for you. When the installation process 
      is complete, the Installer displays a message indicating the 
      installation was successful. 

8. Click the "Restart" button to restart your computer, or the "Quit"
      button, if you did not install onto the current system disk.

Use the Customize option to install the combination of printer driver files and background printing resources you want to install. You can use this process to install just the AppleTalk version or just the Serial version of the printer driver. To use the Customize option, follow these steps:

1. Start or Restart you computer while holding down the Shift key.
     This turns off any system extensions that might cause conflicts
     during the installation process.
