LaserWriter 8.x printer driver

You can use Apple’s LaserWriter driver version 8.x with a Phaser 340 printer. Some applications, such as Aldus PageMaker 5.x, use the LaserWriter 8.x driver instead of the Tektronix driver.

Installing the LaserWriter 8.x driver

Note During installation, the LaserWriter 8.x driver leaves other versions of the LaserWriter driver intact, so this driver can co-exist with the Tektronix driver.

Refer to the LaserWriter driver’s documentation, LaserWriter 8.x Update Guide, for instructions on installing the driver.

Using the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340

The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific 4.x PPDs (PostScript Printer Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options, and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340 printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time to complete this configuration procedure; you may want to do this procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to configure a

printer once.

1.Decompress the Phaser 340 Apps.sea archive file on the Macintosh Driver and Printer Utilities diskette to a folder on your hard disk.

2.Locate and open the 4.x PPDs Folder in the folder on your hard disk containing decompressed files.
