Macintosh: Installing Utilities and Drivers  –  2-17

PPD and PDF files are loaded onto your system during the Install Printer process.

App Drivers Folder

Some Adobe PageMaker and FreeHand versions, QuarkXPress, and ScenicSoft Preps
applications require specialized files in addition to the standard PPD supplied for
your printer. These files are in the XanteInstallers: App Drivers folder on the XANTÉ’s
CD-ROM.

Some advanced XANTÉ printer features may not be available when using older
application versions. Also APD (Adobe Printer Description) files for Adobe
PageMaker versions 4.01 and earlier are available from XANTÉ Technical Support.

PageMaker 5 PPD Folder

The PageMaker 5 PPD folder contains your printer’s PM5 PPD for Aldus PageMaker
versions 4.2 to 5.0 and Aldus FreeHand versions 3.0 and 3.1. To install these PPDs

1.

Load and configure the Adobe PostScript printer driver and your printer’s PPD
following instructions in “Install Printer” earlier in this chapter.

2.

Copy your printer’s PPD from the CD-ROM’s XanteInstallers: App Drivers:
PageMaker 5 PPD folder to the System: Aldus PPD folder on your Macintosh.

3.

Check your application documentation for details on selecting and using the PPD.

QuarkXPress PDF Folder

The QuarkXPress PDF folder contains the PDF (Printer Description File) for your
XANTÉ printer. QuarkXPress versions 3.3.X and earlier require this file in addition to
the PPD to ensure the highest quality output from your printer and QuarkXPress.

Install Printer loads the QuarkXPress PDF automatically. To load these PDFs
manually

1.

Load and configure the Adobe PostScript printer driver and your printer’s PPD
following instructions in “Install Printer” earlier in this chapter.

2.

Copy your printer’s PDF from the CD-ROM’s XanteInstallers: App Drivers:
QuarkXPress PDF folder to the appropriate folder on your Macintosh.

For versions 3.3.X and earlier, copy the printer’s PDF to the QuarkXPress application/
PDF folder.
