Installing Printer Software 3

Setting up the Apple LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver

The LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver uses printer-speciÞc PPDs (PostScript Printer Description Þles) to learn a printerÕs page sizes, printing options, and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver with a Phaser 360 printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time to complete this conÞguration procedure; you may want to do this procedure when the printer is idle. You have to conÞgure a printer only once.

Note During installation, the LaserWriter 8.3.4 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 driver, if one exists.

1.Install the printerÕs software as described on page 3-17. Select Easy Install to automatically install all of the necessary software, or select LaserWriter 8.3.4 Driver and Printer Descriptions in the Custom Install window.

2.From the Apple menu, open the Chooser.

3.Select the LaserWriter 8 driver icon.

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

5.Select your printer from the list, then click the Setup button. An auto-setup program searches for the printerÕs PostScript Printer Description Þle (PPD).

You may see a dialog box showing the PPD Þle you installed in Step 1. Click TKP360P1.PPD and click Select.

Or, if you donÕt see this Þle listed, click Other PPD. A dialog box opens showing the PPD Þles you have installed in the

System Folder, Extensions folder, Printer Descriptions folder. Click TKP360P1.PPD and click Select.
