2 Plug the connector from the other transformer box into the
Macintosh printer port.
3 Connect the two transformer boxes with the telephone cable.
4 Put terminating resistors in all open sockets in the connec-
tor boxes.
This ensures proper communication and helps speed up trans-
mission.
5 Turn on the printer.
A start-up page should print if it has not been disabled.
Installing Macintosh Printing Software
If your Macintosh was previously connected to a PostScript printer,
you can probably start printing now. See your application documenta-
tion for instructions on sending a document to the printer or see “Test-
ing Macintosh Communication,” later in this chapter.
However, to be able to use all your printer's special features (like col-
lation, 600x600 and 1200x600 dpi printing, and gamma correction),
or if you've never printed to a PostScript printer before, you need to
take a few minutes to make sure you have the following printing soft-
ware installed:
n PS Executive Series Utilities
n The 1660 PPD file
n Application-specific printer files
PS Executive Series Printer Utilities
The PS Executive Series Utilities (or PS Exec), included on the Mac-
intosh-format disks we shipped with your printer, is a utilities program
for controlling the printer from the Macintosh. For example, through
PS Exec you can turn off the start-up page, rename the printer, install
printer-resident screen fonts, download fonts, print font samples, and
manage hard disks. Many of the procedures described in this manual
involve using PS Exec.
