Note: Using the Classic Environment within OS X
The Elite Color 16 Software Installer will locate and automatically install the necessary software for your

To set up your printer for use within Classic, you will need to create a Desktop Printer for the Elite Color
16 printer. Follow the steps in the Macintosh OS 9.x Installation Guide in order to set up a desktop printer
icon for the printer in the Classic environment.
Note: Configuring Printer Options within older versions of OS X
OS X versions previous to OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) do not allow for or require manual configuration of printer
options. When the printer is installed and selected in Print Center, the OS takes configuration information
from the PPD file and polls the printer to determine which options are present. These options (such as
additional trays, duplexing capabilities) will then automatically be available for selection within the Print dialog
box.
