Setting Up Options for PostScript 3 Printer Driver

To use installed options correctly, first set up the printer driver. If the options are not recognized, you cannot use them, even though they are physically installed.

Important

  • Manage Printers permission is required to change the printer properties. Log on as an Administrators group member.

  • If you are using Adobe PageMaker 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0, you have to set up options in Adobe PageMaker's print dialog box.

The following table shows where you can set up a printer driver on each operating system.

The procedure to set up a printer driver varies depending on the operating system.

Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5 are used as examples of their respective operating system families.

Windows operating system

You can set up any of the options on [Installable Options] on the [Device Settings] tab in the Printer Properties.

Mac OS X

You can set up all options on [Options & Supplies...] in [Print & Fax] in System Preferences.

Note

  • To set up options, access the printer driver from Windows. You cannot set up options if you access the printer driver from an application.

  • See "Making Option Settings for the Printer" or "Setting Up Options for Mac OS X" for the installation method appropriate to your printing environment.
