Xerox DOCUCOLOR 2006 Installing user software in a Macintosh OS environment

Installing user software in a

Macintosh OS environment

12

Use the following instructions to install software and set up printing in a
Macintosh OS environment.

Your screens may vary from those illustrated in this chapter.

Because the server is part of the printer unit, most references in this chapter
are simply to the printer.

General steps for installing the user software

• Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver and PPD file from the
User Software CD.

• Set up the DocuColor 2006 in the Chooser.

• Install the printer and screen fonts.

• Install the ColorSync™ profiles.

• Copy additional color-reference and application-specific files from

the User Software CD as needed.

In addition to using the User Software CD, you can download printer
drivers with the Installer WebTool if the system administrator has
enabled Internet access to the Fiery). For instructions, refer to the
section Using the Installer WebTool in the chapter Using the Fiery
WebTools.

After you download the printer files, the installation process is identical
to installing from the User Software CD.

Setting up the DocuColor 2006 as a PostScript printer

To set up the DocuColor 2006 as a PostScript printer, install the
PostScript printer description file (PPD) that corresponds to the printer.
The PPD files are provided on the User Software CD.

Printer drivers provide a way to communicate information on print jobs
between your applications, the DocuColor 2006, and any other
PostScript printer connected to your workstation.

Use the following procedures whether you are installing from the User
Software CD or installing with printer files previously downloaded using
the Installer WebTool.

Before you begin, print a Configuration Page for the printer. For
specific procedures, refer to the chapter Performing the setup from the
Printer Control Panel.

1. Perform one of the following:

• Insert the User Software CD in your CD-ROM drive and open

the English: Printer Driver folder.

• To install from files you downloaded using the Installer

WebTool, open the Printer Driver folder on your hard disk.

2. Double-click the AdobePS 8.6 Installer icon.

A Warning dialog box is displayed.

3. Select Yes to continue with the installation of the printer driver
software and to confirm that your workstation must be restarted
after installation.

The AdobePS Installer installs the Adobe PostScript printer driver,
the PPD file that corresponds to your printer, and the Apple
Chooser.

4. Select Restart when the installation is complete.

If you operate the DocuColor 2006 in a copy shop, quick print shop, or
service bureau, you might want to provide copies of the printer driver, PPD
file, any ICC profiles or separation tables used in conjunction with the image,
and relevant documentation to customers. This ensures that jobs they create
and print to files are properly formatted for printing.
