INSTALLING MACINTOSH PPD FILES
The TOSHIBA Macintosh PPD (PostScript Printer Description)
file contains information about controller-specific features. It
works in conjunction with the standard Macintosh LaserWriter 8
printer driver version 8.6.5 (or higher).
Considerations and Limitations
n The Macintosh PPD file will be compressed in the StuffIt
format if the software version is prior to 1.3. It will
automatically decompress when it is copied to the
System
Folder: Extensions: Printer Descriptions
folder, providing the
StuffIt program is installed on the workstation.
n The controller supports both LPR and AppleTalk printing
from Macintosh systems.
n You can enable Macintosh printing from the LCD Touch
Screen or by using TopAccess.
n If you will be using LPR/LPD printing, you must enable LPD
printing from TopAccess as well.
