PRINTING FROM A MACINTOSH

This chapter explains the procedures for printing from a Macintosh environment.

BASIC PRINTING

To use the machine as a printer for the Macintosh, the PS3 expansion kit (AR-PK1/N) must be installed and the
machine must be connected to a network. To install the PPD file and configure the printer driver settings, see "2.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (FOR OPTIONS)" in the "Software setup guide".
Before printing, make sure that the correct size of paper for your document has been loaded in the machine.
Paper that can be used and the procedures for loading paper are the same as for copying. See the "Operation
