Customers purchasing a LaserWriter Pro 810 will require Media Kits for each type of non-Macintosh host system. The software to be installed will supplement application drivers already on the host system for direct printing to the LaserWriter Pro 810 over the network. These kits contain the binary images, the actual software to be downloaded to the network. Included in the kit is a guide and the actual media. The media itself varies according to the host requirements shown below.
The table below shows the media kits:
| System Type | Ships with LW Pro 810 | Optional Media Kit |
| Macintosh | All necessary software | N/A |
| UNIX host | Unix TAR format on 3.5" diskettes | QIC kit |
