computers on continuously, but it is a good idea to switch off the computer
if you will not be using it for many hours.)
!! IMPORTANT: Always use the Shut Down command before switching off your
Macintosh. This command prepares the hard disk (if you have one) and the
system software for shutdown. !!
1. Choose Shut Down from the Special menu.
You will see a message on the screen telling you that it is safe to switch
off the computer. (There is also a button on the screen that lets you restart
if you change your mind.)
2. Switch off the computer.

Printing Documents
Macintosh computers provide several different ways to print documents,
whether you are using a program or working on the desktop.
This chapter explains the preparations you make for printing, summarizes the
options you can choose for paper, image size, and print quality, and presents
brief instructions for each printing operation. It also explains how to
manage print jobs and use background printing.
Getting ready to print
Before you can print a document, you must connect a printer to your Macintosh
and prepare the system software to use the printer.

Placing printer drivers in the System Folder
You must have a printer driver in your System Folder for each type of printer
you want to use.
If you used the Installer to add system software to a hard disk -- or to a
floppy disk that you will use only with an ImageWriter printer -- you can
skip this procedure. (The installation has already copied the appropriate
printer drivers to the System Folder.) If you are not sure what printer
drivers you have, open your System Folder and look for a file that has the
same name as the model of the printer you intend to use. If you do not find
such a file, you need to install a printer driver for your printer.
If you have a non-Apple printer, consult its documentation to determine what
printer driver you need.
Follow these steps to add printer drivers to the System Folder:
1. Select the icon of each printer driver you need.
2. Drag the driver icons to the System Folder on your startup disk.
