26 Chapter 3—Working at a Client Workstation
Defining a Printer on Macintosh
This section describes how to define a IC-304 print controller
network printer for Macintosh client workstations. The IC-304 print
controller can print to Macintosh client workstations running Mac
OS 9 and Mac OS X (10.4).
You can also submit jobs using the IC-304 print controller virtual
printers over a TCP/IP protocol. This connection enables a
significantly higher spooling speed.
Before you set up an IC-304 print controller network printer to a
Macintosh-based client workstation, you must first install the PPD
file. This enables you to set job parameters when printing to the IC-
304 print controller from any application on your client workstation.
The PPD file is enabled when the Print Driver software is disabled.
For more information about the parameters available in the PPD
file, see "Appendix A, Setting Parameters in the PPD File".
After the network printer has been set up, you can install the Print
Driver software which enables you to set job parameters when
printing to the IC-304 print controller from any application on your
client workstation. The Print Driver also enables you to see the IC-
304 print controller configuration, monitor the printer status, and
save a set of print parameters for reuse.
Copying the IC-304 Print Controller PPD File for Mac OS
X (10.4)
To print from your Macintosh computer to the printer, you first need
to manually copy the IC-304 print controller PPD file to the
Macintosh.
1. From the Finder menu, select Go > Connect to Server .
The Connect to Server dialog box appears.
2. In the Server Address box, type the exact name of the server:
smb:// <server_name>, and click Connect .
3. In the Connect to Server dialog box, select Guest , and click
Connect .
4. Select the Utilities volume, and click OK .
5. Double-click the Utilities volume icon.
