Installing The Ppd Files; Operating Environment - Ricoh AP204 Operator's Manual

Installing the PPD Files

You can use the LaserWriter printer driver that comes with your Macintosh
when printing from a Macintosh. However, if you use the LaserWriter driver
alone, you lose some printer specific functions. The printer specific functions can
be used by installing the PPD file.

Operating Environment

The LaserWriter printer driver for Macintosh does not come with this printer.
Use the appropriate printer driver that comes with the Macintosh operating sys-
tem you are using.
Note
This manual describes only the settings specific for this printer. Settings actu-
ally may differ depending on the version of the LaserWriter driver you are us-
ing. See the documentation that comes with your Macintosh for details on the
LaserWriter functions.
See the documentation that comes with your operating system for details on
the functions of the LaserWriter 8 printer driver.
The PPD file is not compatible with QuickDrawGX.
