About the SystemLoader Application
The SystemLoader application is used to download printer system
software from a Macintosh to the printer. It must be decompressed
from two Macintosh disks onto your Macintosh's hard disk before it
can be used.
Decompressing the SystemLoader Application
The SystemLoader application comes on two disks. Before you can
update the printer’s system software, you must decompress the files
on the disks. Use the following procedure:
1 Create a new folder on the Macintosh.
2 Copy the contents of both disks to the new folder.
3 Double-click the SystemLoader.1 file icon.
The UnStuffIt application starts up, decompresses the SYSTEM-
LOADER.1 and SYSTEMLOADER.2 files, and joins them to cre-
ate the SystemLoader application.
