Requirements for Macintosh
(For Windows requirements, see page 3-2.)
To use the machine as a PostScript-compatible printer for the Macintosh, the PPD file
(PostScript printer description file) must be installed in your computer. This is installed
from the WorkCentre C226 PostScript Drivers CD-ROM in the PS Kit. Note that print-
ing is only possible in a Macintosh environment via a network connection. Your Macin-
tosh must be connected to a network by means of an Ethernet port to use the machine
as a printer (parallel and USB connections are not available on the Macintosh).
NOTES: • If this printer is connected to the computer via a cross cable, be sure to turn on the
Macintosh computer before turning on the printer. If not, the printer will not be
recognized as a network printer.
• Make sure that "Enable EtherTalk" in "Network settings" in the key operator
programs is enabled (a checkmark appears).
The WorkCentre C226 PostScript Drivers CD-ROM contains the following software.
• PPD file
The PPD file for Macintosh is the file which a Macintosh computer refers to when
using its LaserWriter printer driver for printing.
• Screen fonts
The WorkCentre C226 PostScript Drivers CD-ROM contains the screen fonts for
Macintosh. If you use the PPD file, install the screen fonts as needed.
Before installing the PPD file
Before installing the PPD file, check the hardware and software requirements.
• Operating system: Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.2, 10.1.5, 10.2 to 10.2.8 (excluding 10.2.2),
10.3 to 10.3.3
• For other conditions such as CPU and RAM capacity, the requirements of the
operating system must be satisfied.
NOTE: If you are using Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.2, make sure that LaserWriter8 has been installed
and that the "LaserWriter8" checkbox is selected (
) in "Extensions Manager" in
"Control Panels". If not, install it from the system CD-ROM supplied with your
Macintosh computer.
