FreeHand
The XANTÉ Utilities CD-ROM includes special printer description
files to use with older Aldus Macintosh versions of FreeHand. You
need to install the file required by your version of FreeHand and
your system environment. Older PC versions and newer Macintosh
and PC versions do not require extra files.
FreeHand (PC)
In a PC environment, FreeHand works with the XANTÉ Utilities
Windows printer description file; see chapter 4, “PC Setup,” for
details about installing this file.
FreeHand (Macintosh)
In a Macintosh environment, FreeHand uses files known as PPD files
(PostScript Printer Description files). See chapter 3, “Macintosh
Setup,” for details about installing this file.
When you print, use your printer’s PPDs to obtain the best quality
from your XANTÉ printer. This section covers changing to the
required PPD for FreeHand versions 3.1 and 4.0. If you have another
version, check the application documentation for details on selecting
the PPD.

1. Choose Print from the File Menu.
2. Click Change in the Print Dialog Box. The Print Options
window appears.
3. Select your printer’s PPD in the Printer Type box in the Print
dialog box.
4. Select other desired options and then print from FreeHand as
you normally would.
