Using the driver for QuickDraw GX

Note:Refer "Using the Phaser 300X GX driver" for details on using the Phaser 300X GX driver.

• The Phaser 300X GX driver works with QuickDraw GX and non-QuickDraw GX applications.
• QuickDraw GX does not work with non-QuickDraw GX printer drivers. If you want to print from non-QuickDraw GX applications with a driver such as the Adobe PSPrinter, you must first disable QuickDraw GX.

1. Install the printer's software as described on "Installing the printer's software". Select Easy Install to automatically install all of the necessary software, or select Phaser 300X GX Driver in the Custom Install window.
2. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
3. Click the Phaser 300X GX printer driver icon on the left side of the Chooser. A list appears with the printers available on your network. (If the printer driver icon does not appear, Restart your Macintosh, and repeat the printer driver installation procedure; also, check the cable connections on your computer and printer.)
4. Click on the Zone your printer is in. See your network administrator if you have questions.
5. In the Connect via field's pop-up menu, select your printer's communication method:
   • The AppleTalk option is the standard network connection.
   • The Servers option is used to select a shared desktop printer.
6. Click on your Phaser 300X printer in the list of printers on the right side of the Chooser.
7. Click the Create button to create a desktop printer. An icon of the printer appears on the desktop with the same name as the printer selected in the Chooser.
8. Close the Chooser by clicking its close box.

• If you are using QuickDraw GX applications, do one of the following:
  • Select any desktop printer in the Print dialog box.
  • Drag a document onto a desktop printer icon. The application corresponding to the document opens, prints the document, and then quits.
• If you are using non-QuickDraw GX applications, do one of the following:
  • Print to the default desktop printer with the Print command from the File menu.
  • Drag a document onto a desktop printer icon. The application corresponding to the document opens, displays the Print dialog box, and waits for you to click Print. After printing the document, the application quits.

Most of the commands in the Printing menu are standard QuickDraw GX driver commands, and are documented by Apple (see the Macintosh Guide on-line document for details). The last group of commands in this menu are printer-specific.

Use the Printer Driver Defaults command in the Printing menu to set default options for the selected desktop printer.

To use custom profiles created in the PhaserMatch application, select a custom profile in the Color Corrections list.

Note:The printer defaults dialog box is also available through the Print command in the File menu for QuickDraw GX applications.
