Macintosh

Note: A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file provides detailed information about the capabilities of a printer to your UNIX or Macintosh computers.

A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file must be installed on each computer used to print to a network printer. In addition, the computer must also have either a desktop printer (Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x) or a print queue in Print Center (Mac OS X). A print queue can be created either through AppleTalk or IP Printing. Follow the instructions for your operating system to install a PPD file and create a desktop printer or print queue.

Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x

Step 1: Install a custom PPD file

Note: Installing the custom PPD is required only if this is the first time the printer has been set up. If the printer was previously installed, go on to Step 2: Create a desktop printer.

1Insert the drivers CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2Double-click Classic.

3Double-click the Installer icon.

4Select the language of your operating system, and then click OK.

5Click Install to install the PPD file for your printer.

Step 2: Create a desktop printer

1In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 driver.

2If you have a routed network, select the default zone from the list. If you don’t know which zone to select, look on the Network Setup page under AppleTalk for Zone.

3Select the new printer from the list.

4If you don’t know which printer to select, look on the Network Setup page under the AppleTalk heading to find the default name of the printer.

5Click Create.

6Make sure there is an icon next to the printer name in the Chooser.

1454, 1464 specifications

The IBM 1454 and 1464 are notable computing systems that have played a significant role in the evolution of technology. Introduced in the 1960s, these systems were part of IBM's early foray into mini-computers, which aimed to provide more accessible computing power compared to their larger mainframe counterparts.

The IBM 1454, which was designed with an emphasis on flexibility and adaptability, featured a modular architecture that allowed for various configurations based on user needs. It supported multiple programming languages, which made it versatile for a range of applications, from scientific calculations to business data processing. One of its main features was the capability to interface with peripheral devices, showcasing an early attempt at creating a more interconnected computing environment.

On the other hand, the IBM 1464 was an advancement over the 1454, boasting enhanced processing capabilities and memory management. It was specifically engineered for real-time applications, which was becoming increasingly important in industries such as telecommunications and manufacturing. The 1464 incorporated improved input/output operations, enabling faster data processing and more efficient use of hardware resources. This made it suitable for complex tasks that required immediate processing and feedback.

Both models utilized IBM’s proprietary technologies, including a unique assembly language and input/output channels that optimized data flow between the CPU and peripherals. They were also equipped with magnetic core memory, which, while basic by today's standards, was a cutting-edge feature at the time, providing both speed and reliability.

In terms of characteristics, the IBM 1454 and 1464 were compact for their time, designed to fit into space-constrained environments such as laboratories and business offices. They also came with comprehensive documentation and support, reflecting IBM's commitment to customer service and user education.

In summary, the IBM 1454 and 1464 were pivotal in defining the landscape of mini-computing during their era. With their modular designs, robust processing capabilities, and support for real-time applications, they laid the groundwork for future advancements in computer technology. Their legacy continues to influence modern computing systems, making them critical milestones in the history of information technology.
