(For Windows requirements, see page 2.)
To use the machine as a PostScript-compatible printer for the Macintosh, the PPD file (PostScript printer description
file) must be installed in your computer. This is installed from the Software CD-ROM in the PS3 Expansion Kit AR-
PK6. Note that printing is only possible in a Macintosh environment via a network connection. Your Macintosh must
be connected to a network by means of an Ethernet port to use the machine as a printer (parallel and USB
connections are not available on the Macintosh).

The PS3 Expansion Kit AR-PK6 Software CD-ROM contains the following software.

O PPD file

The PPD file for Macintosh is the file which a Macintosh computer refers to when using its LaserWriter printer
driver for printing.

O Screen fonts

The Software CD-ROM contains the screen fonts for Macintosh. If you use the PPD file, install the screen fonts
as needed.

Before installing the PPD file, check the hardware and software requirements.

• Operating system: Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.2, 10.1.5 and 10.2 to 10.2.8 (excluding 10.2.2), 10.3 to 10.3.3
• For other conditions such as CPU and RAM capacity, the requirements of the operating system must be

satisfied.

NOTES
O

If this printer is connected to the computer via a cross cable, be sure to turn on the Macintosh computer before
turning on the printer. If not, the printer will not be recognized as a network printer.

O

Make sure that "Enable EtherTalk" in "Network settings" in the key operator programs is enabled (a checkmark
appears) (see page 12).

NOTE
If you are using Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.2, make sure that LaserWriter8 has been installed and that the "LaserWriter8"
checkbox is selected (

) in "Extensions Manager" in "Control Panels".
