As long as you leave the configuration switch on the printer in the right-hand
position, the printer uses these settings. If for any reason you need to return to
the original, standard settings, flip the switch back to the left-hand position
and restart the printer. Then, after the printer has powered up, return the
switch to the right-hand position.

Sending PostScript files to the printer

You can download PostScript files to the printer to print a PostScript program
or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file, or to run a PostScript program to
change the printer’s internal settings. You can create a PostScript file in a
variety of text-editing programs or by printing any document to a file.

1

In the Apple Printer Utility program, choose Send PostScript File from the File menu.

A dialog box appears.

2

In the Send File dialog box, select the PostScript file you want to send to the printer.

3

Click Send.

Restarting the printer

If you have any problems printing, you may need to restart the printer to clear
its memory.

1

Choose Restart Printer from the Utilities menu.

If you have changes you haven’t sent to the printer, a dialog box appears,
asking whether you want to send the changes now.

2

To confirm that you want to restart the printer, click Restart.

When the printer lights stop blinking, the printer is ready to print.

You can achieve the same effect by turning the printer off and then on again.

IMPORTANT

If the printer is on a network shared by other users, make sure no

one is attempting to use the printer before you restart it. Any print jobs that
are canceled must be resubmitted.
