Introduction
This chapter explains how to connect your printer to a host
computer after you have set it up according to the instructions in
the previous chapter, “Initial Printer Setup.”
Connecting to a Network
If you’ve purchased a network interface for your printer, see
chapter 8, “Printer Options,” for installation information, and see
your network and your interface kit documentation for further
details.
About Macintosh Networks
If you’re connecting to a print network such as TOPS or
AppleShare using LocalTalk-type connectors and boxes, see your
Macintosh and network documentation for details specific to your
setup.
All Macintosh users on a network must use the same version of
LaserWriter to run correctly. For example, if the network has a
mixture of LaserWriter 7.0 and 8.x, it will experience frequent
reinitialization problems. Also, to get color output, you must use
LaserWriter and Laser Prep 6.0 or higher. (System 6 users must
also all have the same version of Laser Prep unless they’re using
LaserWriter 6.1 or higher.) Check the version number by selecting
the LaserWriter icon, then holding down the Command key while
pressing the letter I. The driver version number appears in the Info
window.
