Phaser 480X Color Printer
CD-ROM
By default, the Phaser 480X is shipped with a CD-ROM for platforms that
have a CD-ROM drive. (If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive,
you can order the optional diskettes; see Chapter 5 for details.) The
CD-ROM includes printer drivers, utility Þles, and online help, as well as
information for PC users running DOS, Macintosh users needing the
QuickDraw GX driver, and information on fonts and the serial port.
Wide range of media sizes
The Phaser 480X prints on paper and transparency Þlm ranging in size from
Letter to Tabloid Extra. Tabloid Extra provides enough image area to
produce a full two-page spread with full edge bleeds.
Font flexibility
Besides its 39 resident fonts, the printer accepts Adobe Type 1, Type 3, and
TrueType downloadable fonts and a variety of user-deÞned fonts. You can
download additional fonts as needed, or store them on an external hard
disk.
Extensive drivers and utilities
Software for Macintosh, Windows, and workstation platforms are included
on the drivers and utilities CD-ROM or diskettes that ship with the printer.
The Macintosh and Windows drivers include the capability for printing
color separations, showing overprint and trapping information.
The Phaser 480X utilities also include PhaserPrintª for Photoshopª Ñ a
Photoshop plug-in that achieves higher printing throughput in bypassing
the Macintosh LaserWriter driver.
For details on the contents of the Phaser 480X CD-ROM and diskettes, as
well as how to use them, refer to the
