Macintosh - Installing the PPD File
You can use the LaserWriter printer driver that comes with a Macintosh when
printing from a Macintosh. However, if you use the LaserWriter printer driver
alone, you cannot use the printer specific functions. The printer specific func-
tions can be used by installing the PPD file.
Note
❒ The LaserWriter printer driver for a Macintosh does not come with this print-
er. Use the appropriate printer driver that comes with the Macintosh you are
using.
❒ See the documentation that comes with the operating system for more infor-
mation about the functions of the LaserWriter 8 printer driver.
