LaserWriter: Printing to It With DECserver


You can use DECserver to print with Macintosh and LaserWriter:

Wire the Macintosh modem port into the DECserver and hang the LaserWriter
off the same server, but a different port. Use the Async LaserWriter with
the Direct.ACL file.

- Set the various parameters of the server (name, baud rate, XON, etc.) to
correspond to the LaserWriter.

- Start up Mac240 on the Macintosh, log in and choose 'C LaserWriter'.
Quit Mac240.

- Start up PageMaker. From the Choose Print option under the File menu,
select the Apple Driver to be used through the modem port.

NOTE: Only one user can have access to the port while this process is
in effect.

- Select Async LaserWriter from the Chooser.
