SUMMARY
Incorrect settings for the Apple Laserwriter II NTX may result in errors when you try to print.

The error &quot;Offending command&quot; may appear when printing from Windows Paint or Windows Write if the printer is set to interactive mode. The printer reboots if you try to print graphics files from Microsoft Word versions 5.0 and 5.5 when the printer is in interactive mode.



MORE INFORMATION
To print without having these errors, set the printer to batch mode by placing DIP switch #4 in the up position. Also, the printer should be operating in its PostScript mode while using Windows. This is done by setting DIP switch 3 in the up position. For more information on setting the LaserWriter II NTX to batch mode, consult the Apple LaserWriter II NTX manual.

With the printer in interactive mode, additional virtual memory for the printer is required to print graphics images. When the available virtual memory is exhausted, the printer reboots. Rather than adding more memory to the printer, the printer may be set to batch mode.

For further assistance in configuring the Apple LaserWriter II NTX printer, contact Apple Computer, Inc.
