Using the Apple Printer Utility to download files

All PostScript utility files on the printer's CD-ROM can be downloaded to the printer with the Apple Printer Utility.

To download PostScript utility files, follow this procedure:

1. From the PhaserTools folder on your computer's hard disk, double-click Apple Printer Utility.
2. In the Printer Selector dialog box, make the following selections:
• Under AppleTalk Zones, select your printer's zone.
• Under Printers, select your Phaser printer.
• Click Open Printer.
3. From the File menu, select Send PostScript File; the Select the PostScript files to download dialog box appears.
4. Select the folder location of the PostScript file(s) that you want to download. The printer's PostScript utility files are located on the CD-ROM in the Printer Utilities folder inside the Phaser Tools folder.
5. Select a utility file. Click Add.
6. Click Send.
7. At the prompt Save PostScript output as, you are asked for a file name for saving printer output. Use the default name given in the edit box or type a new name. (Printer output includes status messages generated by the printer reporting such conditions as out of paper.)
8. Click Save.
9. If no output is returned by the printer, the Apple Printer Utility displays a dialog box; click Continue. If output is returned by the printer, you won't see this dialog box.

Check your computer's hard disk for the message file created by the utility.
