Setting up PostScript or PCL printing with Windows NT 4.0

Setting up PostScript or PCL printing with 
Windows NT 4.0

To set up the Fiery as a PostScript or PCL printer, you must install the PostScript or 
PCL printer driver for Windows NT 4.0 and the corresponding printer description 
files. You must also configure the print connection between the computer and the 
Fiery. If you are printing over a network, you must configure a network connection. If 
you are printing directly to the printer, you must configure a parallel port connection.

:

The procedures for setting up printing with the PostScript and PCL printer 

drivers are similar. The following illustrations show the PostScript driver. Any 
differences are noted.

Installing the PostScript or PCL printer driver 
for Windows NT 4.0

The procedure for installing the printer driver(s) for Windows NT 4.0 is similar to 
that for installing under Windows 98. If you follow that procedure, installing from the 
included Drivers CD (CD1), the LPR and Network Extension utilities are 
automatically included in the installation, and the network connection on TCP/IP 
networks is established automatically by the installer.
