Macintosh Configuration
For Macintosh compatibility, Mita printers must be equipped with the KPDL II
PostScript option.
Installing the Driver and Selecting the Printer
1. To install the Macintosh Printer Driver and Utilities from the CD which is provided
with the printer, open the Drivers folder, then the USA/English folder, and double
click on the DP-2800 USA Installer.
2. Once installation is complete and your system has been restarted, select
Chooser from the Apple menu to open the Chooser.
3. Select the DP-2800 Driver, the zone (if any) and the 1000E printer. The default
name for the printer is KYO_ followed by the 1000E six digit serial number.
4. Click on Setup. Select the appropriate PPD file for the printer from the pop-up
menu near the bottom of the screen. Turn on Background Printing if desired and
close the Chooser.
5. From the File menu within any application, select either Page Setup or Print.
6. Click on the Options button, click on Options Installed, and select the paper
handling accessories that are installed on the printer.
7. Optional: Click on the appropriate selection to set the desired defaults for options
such as Output Tray, Image Refinement, Duplexing, etc.
Naming the Printer and Changing Other Settings
There are two methods for changing additional 1000E settings; 1) with the DP-2800
Utility, and 2) with a standard browser. Connecting to the printer's IP address with a
browser allows changing Macintosh, NetWare, and TCP/IP settings on the 1000E,
whereas the DP-2800 Utility can only be used to change Macintosh settings on the
1000E. For those users that do not have a browser and/or do not want to assign an
IP address to the 1000E, instructions for using the DP-2800 Utility are provided
below. Instructions for configuring with a browser can be found in the Instruction
Handbook.
1. Double click on the DP-2800 Utility icon on the Macintosh desktop.
2. Highlight KYO_<serial#>, e.g. KYO_163479 in the printer list and click on
General.
3. Click on Rename Printer and type the desired printer name in the Printer Name
field. Click on OK to return to the General Printer Options dialog.
4. Click on Network Options, select the desired zone for the printer from the
Available Zones list and click on Set Zone.
5. Enable or disable the power on status page as desired and click on Done. This
completes Macintosh printing configuration.
