Manual Feeding
You can use the multipurpose tray for all of your printing jobs. You can keep a small stack of paper in the multipurpose tray and let the LaserWriter Pro feed the paper automatically, or you can use the multipurpose tray for manual-feed printing.
1. Push gently on the small indentation at the top of the tray and then lower the tray slowly.
2. Use the extension to adjust the tray so that your paper does not extend over the edge.
3. Place the stack of paper in the tray.

The following table shows the communication settings in effect when the printer is new. The push-button switch on the printer's connector panel can be set to positions 0 through 9. Switch positions 0 through 5 are fixed, and the settings for these positions cannot be changed. Positions 6 through 9 are user-configurable; you can change the settings for these positions to match the needs of the computer you are connecting. "Available Settings," at the end of this appendix, lists all the options available for each setting.
From a Macintosh computer, you use the LaserWriter Utility program to display and change communication settings. From a computer other than a Macintosh, you can send PostScript commands to the printer to change the communication settings. Contact your Apple dealer or technical representative for assistance.
