Setting up the Phaser 380 printer driver

The Phaser 380 printer driver is a Tektronix-modiÞed version of Apple's

LaserWriter 7.1.2 printer driver. Use the Phaser 380 printer driver if you are

using System Software 6.0.7, or 7.0 and later.

1.

Install the printerÕs software as described on page 2-47. Choose

Easy Install to install all of the necessary software, or select

Phaser 380 Driver in the Custom Install window.

2.

Select Chooser from the Apple menu.

3.

Click on the Phaser 380 printer driver icon on the left side of the

Chooser. A list appears with the printers you have connected to

your Macintosh or printers that are available on a network. (If the

printer driver icon does not appear, check the cable connections on

your computer and printer.)

4.

Click on the Zone your printer is in. See your network

administrator if you have questions.

5.

Click on your Phaser 380 printer in the list of printers on the right

side of the Chooser.

Close the Chooser by clicking its close box.

Setting up the Apple LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver

The LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver uses printer-speciÞc PPDs (PostScript Printer

Description Þles) to learn a printerÕs page sizes, printing options, and media

type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver with a Phaser 380 printer,

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

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

when the printer is idle. You only have to conÞgure a printer once.

Note

During installation, the LaserWriter 8.3.4 driver leaves other

versions of the LaserWriter driver (such as 7.x and 6.x) intact,

but overwrites an earlier version of the LaserWriter 8 driver, if

one exists.
