To set up the EX Print Server as a PostScript printer on a Mac OS X computer, install the
printer driver files that correspond to your press and set up the EX Print Server for printing.
Printer drivers provide a way to communicate information about print jobs between your
applications, the EX Print Server, and the press.
For the location of each procedure, see the following table.
Installing the Mac OS X printer driver files
The Mac OS X printer driver files are provided on the User Software DVD or can be
downloaded from the EX Print Server over the network or using WebTools. The following
sections describe how to install the printer files for the EX Print Server.
You can install printer drivers as follows:
• From the User Software DVD
• From WebTools, using the Downloads tab to download the printer driver files before
installing the printer driver
NOTE: WebTools is available if the administrator has enabled Internet access to the EX Print
Server.
• From the EX Print Server by downloading the printer driver files over the network before
installing the printer driver
For the location of each procedure, see the following table.

Installing from the User Software DVD
The User Software DVD provides the following software for Mac OS X (see the OSX: Printer
Driver folder):
•
OSX Installer: Installs the printer driver files required to print from Mac OS X.
•
Language folders: Printer description files that are installed by OSX Installer. You do not
need to open these folders or install them manually on your computer. The appropriate
files are installed by OSX Installer.
TO INSTALL THE PRINTER DRIVER FILES FOR MAC OS X
1 Quit all open applications.
2 Mac OS X v10.3.9 and v10.4.x: Make sure that the Printer Setup Utility is not running on your
computer.
Printer Setup Utility updates the list of available printers when it starts. If a printer description
file is added while Printer Setup Utility is running, you cannot select the associated printer
model until you restart.
Mac OS X v10.5.x and v10.6.x: Proceed to step 3.
3 Insert the User Software DVD into the DVD drive.
4 Open the OSX: Printer Driver folder on the User Software DVD.
If you are installing from a folder you downloaded from WebTools or the EX Print Server,
browse to the Printer Driver folder on your desktop.
5 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions.
The OSX Installer installs the printer driver files that correspond to the EX Print Server.
7 When copying is complete, click Quit.
Downloading printer drivers using WebTools
WebTools allows you to download installers for printer drivers to your computer directly from
the EX Print Server.
Before you download the printer driver files, the administrator must enable Internet access to
the EX Print Server.
For more information about setting up and starting WebTools, see Utilities.

Printer Driver in a compressed format. If your Internet browser is equipped with an expander
utility, such as StuffIt Expander, the folder decodes and decompresses automatically.
If the Printer Driver folder does not automatically decode and decompress, double-click the
file to start the utility that performs that function.
4 Open the OSX: Printer Driver folder.
5 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
For instructions on installing the printer driver for Mac OS X, see page 11.
Downloading printer drivers from the EX Print Server
