User's Guide 8-6 PCRIP-EZ1
CONFIGURATION FOR MACINTOSH COMPUTERS
The “DigiPrint Utility” and several small configuration files are found in a folder named “DigiPrint Utility” on the
PCRIP-EZ1 Controller Macintosh Disk. These small files contain the commands for changing the output page size,
printing the diagnostic status page, saving configuration changes permanently and naming your Controller.
(Naming your Controllers is necessary to distinguish between multiple Controllers connected to the same
AppleTalk network.) Copy the entire DigiPrint Utility folder onto your hard disk for ease of access.
-
The most frequently used page size may be selected and saved for a small print-speed improvement. The
choices are "A4 page size", "A3 page size", "B4 page size", "B5 page size", "A4 (wide feed edge)", "US
Letter page size", "US Legal page size", "US 11 x 17 page size", and "US Letter (wide feed edge)". If you
have changed the output page size and wish to retain that change as the Controller's power-on default, you
will also need to use "Save Configuration Changes."
- If you wish to verify that the page size selection within the Controller is correct, you can select "Print Diag
Status Pg". This file will generate a one-page printout of the current Controller settings. See Appendix A for
an example of this Diagnostic Status Page output.
- If you have more than one EZ1 Controller installed on an AppleTalk network, you will need to rename each
Controller so that AppleTalk can distinguish between the Priports. If you only have one EZ1 Controller and
Priport installed on the AppleTalk network, you will not need to use these files unless you wish to personalize
the name.
Step 1.
Insert the PCRIP-EZ1 Macintosh Disk in the drive and double click on the floppy icon to open it.
Step 2. Open the DigiPrint Utility folder by double clicking on it. Then double click on the DigiPrint Utility icon.
When the program comes up, make sure the large button labeled Printers in the center of the window
says DigiPrint. If it says PostScript, then click the down arrow and select DigiPrint.
Step 3.
The DigiPrint Utility will display all devices in the current AppleTalk zone (similar to the display in the
Chooser). Click on the desired Priport model. If there is only one Controller, there should be only one
Priport entry displayed.
NOTE: The PCRIP-EZ1 Controller is a different device type than a LaserWriter printer. Only DigiPrint
type devices will be displayed when DigiPrint is selected. To see any connected LaserWriter type devices
(including PCRIP-10), you must either select PostScript on the utility menu or select the LaserWriter driver in the
Chooser. If you select PostScript within the DigiPrint Utility, you will need to re-select DigiPrint to see any
PCRIP-EZ1 Controllers.
Step 4. If you wish to personalize the name of a Controller, point and click to select the desired printer and then
click on the Rename Printer button. The program will prompt for the new name. Type the new name
and click OK. This new name will now appear in the right hand window as well as the DigiPrint driver
and status monitor.
Step 5.
To make other configuration changes, click on the Download File button. Then point and click to select
the file that will make the desired configuration.
Step 6. Click OK. If you wish to make any other changes, start again at Step 5. If you are finished making or
saving the configuration changes, click on the button in the upper left corner of the DigiPrint Utility
window to close.
