Driver and communication set up

Loading the LaserWriter PPD file
Macintosh users print to the Phaser 550 using the LaserWriter 7.x or 8.x printer
driver. If the customer is already using a LaserWriter simple install the PPD file
into the Mac's Printer Description folder. Otherwise, the LaserWriter 8 driver
must be installed on the computer as well at the Phaser 550 PPD file. Refer to the
Phaser 550 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for more details on drivers.
To install the PPD file
1. Place the Phaser 550 Printer Color Printer Software for the Macintosh
diskette into the disk drive.
2.
Double-click on the Installer icon.
3. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the PPD installation.
4. Restart the Macintosh.
5.
Select the driver's icon and the printer in the Chooser.
The Phaser Share software and utilities diskette contains an LaserWriter Utility
file you can use to reprogram the printer to reside in another EtherTalk zone, if
necessary.
