Setting up the Adobe PSPrinter Driver

The Adobe PSPrinter driver uses printer-specific PPDs (PostScript Printer Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options, and media type options. To use the Adobe PSPrinter driver with a

Phaser 350 printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time to complete this set-up procedure; you may want to do this procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to set up a printer once.

Note Refer to the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver User Guide on the printer’s CD-ROM for more detailed information on the Adobe PSPrinter driver.
