The Apple Service Guide for LaserWriter Printers, Volume II, September 1993 covers the LaserWriter Pro 600/630, the LaserWriter Select 300/310 and the Personal LaserWriter 300.

It goes further than the Service Source volumes in two places that matter: it prints printer connector pinouts and wiring diagrams for every printer it covers, and it gives real parts lists against exploded views.

What this guide does not contain

[edit | edit source]

No schematics: the wiring diagrams show looms and connectors, not circuits. The parts lists are Apple's selection of service modules and spares, not a bill of materials, and Apple advises checking any part number against the current Apple Service Programs price pages. No component values.
