Additional Windows NT 4.0 Information
Installing PostScript Printer Description Files
Most newer applications are set up to access the PostScript Printer Description (PPD)
files for the printer directly through the system and do not require additional
configuration. A handful of applications, however, may require you to manually install
the PPD file to a different location on your hard drive in order for the application to
properly recognize the printer's features.
The PPD file for the Elite 21 Series is a file called 'gce21_1.ppd,' which is included on
the Elite 21 Series software CD-ROM. To locate this file, insert the CD into the
computer, double-click "My Computer" and double-click the CD icon to open the disk.
On the GCC disk, open the folder that corresponds to the language being used
(English, French, German, Italian or Spanish), then open the 'WinNT' folder. The
'gce21_1.ppd' file is located within this folder.
Consult your application's documentation for information on where to place this file.
Below is a list of some common applications that require separate PPD installation and
the folders where the PPD files reside:
Adobe PageMaker 6.5 Plus:
On the C: drive, under Program Files, Adobe, USEnglsh, PPD4
Adobe PageMaker 6.5:
On the C: drive, under PM65, RSRC, USEnglsh, PPD4

(Please note that the "USEnglsh" folder may have a different name for International
versions of these applications).
