Setting up the Apple LaserWriter 8.x driver

The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific PPDs (PostScript Printer Description files) to learn a printer’s page sizes, printing options, and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 350 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.

This driver software is available only on the printer’s CD-ROM.

Note During installation, the LaserWriter 8.x driver leaves other versions of the LaserWriter driver (such as 7.x and 6.x) intact, but overwrites an earlier version of the LaserWriter 8.x driver, if one exists.

1.Install the printer’s software as described on page 2-53. Choose Custom Install, then select LaserWriter 8.x Driver and Printer Descriptions.

2.Install the driver:

a.In the PhaserTools folder on your hard disk, locate the alias to the LaserWriter 8.x Installer.

b.Double-click on the alias to open the installer application on the printer’s CD-ROM

c.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

3.Open the Chooser.

4.Select the LaserWriter 8 driver icon.

5.Click on the Zone your printer is in. See your network administrator if you have questions.

6.Select your printer from the list.

7.Still in the Chooser, click the Setup button to see a list of options.
