more support for direct printing and less compatibility with devices other than the one
targeted by the driver.
•
Highly DSC compliant. However, not as DSC compliant as the InDesign PostScript file
workflows.
•
Supports all output color modes (composite or separated).
•
Can use InDesign to set up built-in trapping or Adobe In-RIP Trapping.
•
Can be printed to a file or directly to a device.
To set up an AdobePS driver- and device-dependent PostScript output path:
In the Print dialog box, choose a printer from the Printer pop-up menu. The PPD menu will
automatically display the name of the PPD used to set up the printer. If you want to target a
different PPD, from the Printer pop-up menu choose a printer that uses the PPD you want.
If an appropriate printer isn’t listed, set it up using the Add Printer wizard.

In Mac OS X, the LaserWriter driver produces PostScript that is DSC compliant and as flex-
ible as the AdobePS output path. The technical implications of the LaserWriter OS X output
path are identical to those listed for the Windows AdobePS/PostScript 5 driver workflow
above.
To set up an Apple LaserWriter driver- and device-dependent PostScript file on Mac OS X:
1. In the Print dialog box, choose a printer from the Printer pop-up menu.
