Troubleshooting
You’re not likely to have many problems with the LaserWriter II, as long as you follow the
routine maintenance procedures in this chapter. Changing the toner cartridge is usually all
that’s needed to keep print quality up to publication standards.
Most operating pitfalls can be traced back to software installation. To avoid these problems,
always use a startup disk that includes the LaserWriter II printer resource and the appropriate
fonts.

you want to use this disk as a startup disk, update it before proceeding. You can obtain the
current system software from your authorized Apple dealer.
