Installing PPD Files

PPDs, in combination with the PostScript driver, access the
printer features and allow the computer to communicate with
the printer. An installation programme for the PPDs is provided
on the supplied software CD-ROM.
NOTE:
Installing the PostScript printer driver in Windows 9x/Me/NT 4.0
may require the use of the operating system files on the original
CD-ROM that came with your system.
If you have a PostScript 3 driver in Windows 9x/Me/NT 4.0 and
want to use it, you must install the PostScript 3 PPD which is also
provided on the CD-ROM.
Before installing PPD files, make sure that the printer and the PC
are properly connected with parallel, USB or network interface.
For information about:
• connecting with the parallel interface, see page 2.10.
• connecting with the USB interface, see page 2.11. For
Windows 98/Me, the USB driver must be installed. See
page 2.20.
connecting with a network interface, see page 2.12. You need
to install an optional network interface card; see “Installing a
Network or Serial Interface Card” on page F.6.

In Windows 95/98/Me
