______________________ Application Notes and Page Design B-9
Load and configure the Adobe printer driver and your printer’s PPD
following instructions in chapter 3, “Macintosh Setup.” Then, install
the XANTÉ PPD for Aldus PageMaker by copying the appropriate
PPD file from the utilities disk to the Aldus PPD folder in the System
Folder.
The PPDs are named according to the printer. A W after the name
indicates the PPD is for use on printers with the wide format option.
Selecting the PPD in PageMaker 4.2 and later.
After you install the PPD file for your version of PageMaker, select
the PPD using the procedure below for your versions of PageMaker.
This section covers versions 4.2, 5.0, and 6.0. If you have another
version, check the application documentation for details on selecting
the PPD.
Note: PageMaker 4.0 uses APD files, rather than the Aldus PPDs
supplied on the utilities disks. This version is limited in the
new printer features that it can use. Different APDs are
available for specific printer resolutions. This version of
PageMaker will not allow a 25.00" (635 mm) format.
Instead, the B25 oversized page is formatted for a 22.00"
(559 mm) page, and the image is positioned at the bottom of
the 25.00" (635 mm) page. If you are using PageMaker 4.0,
contact XANTÉ Technical Support for a copy of the APD
file for your printer (see appendix A for XANTÉ Technical
Support information).
PageMaker 4.2: After you install the PPD file for your version of
PageMaker, use the following procedure to select the desired PPD
file.
1. Open your PageMaker document.
2. Choose Print from the File menu. The print dialog box appears
with a Printer option in the bottom half of the window.
