LaserWriter 8.x printer driver

You can use Apple’s LaserWriter driver version 8.x with a Phaser 340 printer.

Some applications, such as Aldus PageMaker 5.x, use the LaserWriter 8.x

driver instead of the Tektronix driver.

Installing the LaserWriter 8.x driver

Note

During installation, the LaserWriter 8.x driver leaves other

versions of the LaserWriter driver intact, so this driver can

co-exist with the Tektronix driver.

Refer to the LaserWriter driver’s documentation,

LaserWriter 8.x Update

Guide

, for instructions on installing the driver.

Using the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340

The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-speciﬁc 4.x PPDs (PostScript Printer

Description ﬁles) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options,

and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340

printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time

to complete this conﬁguration procedure; you may want to do this

procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to conﬁgure a

printer once.

Decompress the

Phaser 340 Apps.sea

archive ﬁle on the Macintosh

Driver and Printer Utilities diskette to a folder on your hard disk.

Locate and open the

4.x PPDs Folder

in the folder on your hard

disk containing decompressed ﬁles.
