Driver, utility files, and front panel interactions

If your printer is shared on a network, you can affect prints made by others when you download a utility file or use the printer's front panel menus to change the printer's default settings.

• When you print from a supported driver with any print feature selection except Use Printer Setting, the driver selection overrides front panel selections or downloaded utility files for prints made from the driver.
• When you print from a supported driver with the Use Printer Setting option, your images are printed with either a previously downloaded utility file or the default front panel menu selections.
• When you print from a non-supported driver, your images are printed with either a previously downloaded utility file or the default front panel menu selections.
• If the colors on your prints are not what you expected, and your system administrator has disabled some of the printer's front panel menus, use one of these methods to determine what settings are in effect:
• Ask your system administrator whether a utility file has been downloaded to the printer.
• Print the Configuration Page from the front panel Help Pages menu to see the current color correction selection.
• Use PhaserLink software to view the current printer defaults.

If the Apple Printer Utility does not work (AppleTalk)

If your printer is connected through a print server, you can use only the Apple Printer Utility to download PostScript utility files.
