User`s manual

All LaserWriter printers on the network will be listed on the right. Click the name of the
printer you want. You'll see a message saying "Checking for presence of ImageWriter
emulator." If no one has printed with that LaserWriter II since it was turned on, you'll also see
the message "Downloading ImageWriter emulator."
The ImageWriter emulator is software that allows the Apple II to communicate with the
LaserWriter II as if it were an ImageWriter.
6. Click the User Name box and type your name if it has not already been entered.
7. Quit.

Printing
Different applications have different procedures for printing and different ways of asking for
information about the printer. If your application asks for the printer's slot number, choose
slot 7. The owner's guide for the application should provide full details. The fonts you can print
with will also depend on the application.

Appendix C: Connecting To and Printing With an MS-DOS Computer
__________________________________________________________________
With the right hardware and software, you can use the LaserWriter IInt or LaserWriter IIntx
printer to print a document you've created or stored on an MS-DOS computer-that is, any
version of the IBM PC or any compatible computer. There are two ways to connect your
LaserWriter II to an MS-DOS computer:
Install a LocalTalk peripheral card in one of the expansion slots of your MS-DOS computer,
connect the computer to an AppleTalk network system, and connect the printer to the same
network.
Connect a serial port on your MS-DOS computer to the 25-pin socket on your printer.
___________________________________________________________
Using LocalTalk
You can connect an MS-DOS computer to your LaserWriter II through a LocalTalk cable system
by following these steps:
1. Install a peripheral card that adds a LocalTalk port, along with supporting circuitry, to the
MS-DOS computer.
2. Insert a LocalTalk connector box into that port.
3. Plug another connector, from the same network, into the 8-pin socket on the left side of your
printer.
You can use a LocalTalk connector box to connect your MS-DOS computer directly to your
printer. In that case, the com-puter and the printer are the only two devices on the network.
4. To activate the AppleTalk software of the LaserWriter II, set switches 1 and 2 in the up
position.
