Using the PostScript Printer Driver 159
EPSON AcuLaser C3800 User's Guide
Note:
❏ You cannot use FireWire for printer connection in the PostScript 3 mode. Although EPSON
FireWire appears in the interface pop-up list, it cannot be used with the PostScript 3 printer
driver.
❏ You need to make the settings for your installed options manually when the printer is connected
using USB, IP printing, or Bonjour (Rendezvous). When the printer is connected using
AppleTalk, the printer software automatically makes the settings.
❏ Make sure to specify ASCII as the data format in the application.
1. Open the Applications folder, open the Utilities folder, then double-click Printer
Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4) or Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2).
The Printer List window appears.
2. Click Add in the Printer List window.
3. Select the protocol or the interface that you are using from the pop-up list.
Note for Appletalk users:
Make sure to select AppleTalk. Do not select EPSON AppleTalk, because it cannot be used
with the PostScript 3 printer driver.
Note for IP Printing users:
❏ Make sure to select IP Printing. Do not select EPSON TCP/IP, because it cannot be used
with the PostScript 3 printer driver.
❏ After selecting IP Printing, enter the IP address for the printer, then make sure to select the
Use default queue on server check box.
Note for USB users:
Make sure to select USB. Do not select EPSON USB, because it cannot be used with the
PostScript 3 printer driver.
