QuarkXPress

To use the printer with QuarkXPress, use the installer application on the
printer’s CD-ROM or diskettes to install the Phaser 300X.PDF printer
description file. The file is installed automatically with Easy Install. Refer to
the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions on
installing the printer’s software. Once the file is installed, the printer’s name
appears alphabetically in the list of installed printers in the QuarkXPress
custom Page Setup dialog box.

The PhaserPrint

software plug-in operates within the Photoshop

your printer. Use the installer application on the printer’s CD-ROM or
diskettes to install the PhaserPrint software plug-in. The file is installed
automatically with Easy Install. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference
for instructions on installing the printer’s software. Once
the file is installed, select PhaserPrint from the Export pop-up menu in the
File

menu, and make printing selections. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers
