Some Notes to Consider
In the following sections, we assume that you are installing the software
for the first time.
The current version of Macintosh OS X has limited support for PPD
(PostScript Printer Description) files. Although KONICA MINOLTA printers
can be used with Macintosh OS X, not all advanced printing features are
available. Advanced printing features are still available under Macintosh
OS 9.
You can connect to your printer by
A USB cable
A crossover Ethernet cable
Ethernet patch cables and an Ethernet hub
Macintosh—PPDs
We developed a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for the PagePro
9100. This PPD works with the Macintosh Operating System’s PostScript
printer driver (LaserWriter) to provide support for the features on the PagePro
9100, such as print resolution and media sizes, and optional features such as
duplexing and proof-then-print.
