• Installing printer files on Mac OS computers
• Setting up printing connections on Mac OS computers
• Installing EX Print Server printing utilities
• Printing from Mac OS computers
User software
The following table lists the user software that is described in this document. This is the user
software you need for setting up basic printing on the EX Print Server. Other documents may
describe other user software depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
User Software Description
PostScript Printer Description
(PPD/Plugin) files
These files are used with the PostScript printer driver that allows the
EX Print Server to appear in the Print and Page Setup dialog boxes
of popular applications. The EX Print Server PPDs provide
information about the digital press to your application and printer
driver.
PostScript screen fonts These are the PostScript/TrueType screen fonts that correspond
to the printer fonts installed on the EX Print Server. For a complete
list of PostScript/TrueType fonts installed on the EX Print Server,
print a font list. For more information, see Command WorkStation
Help.

INTRODUCTION 7
Downloading printer drivers using WebTools
You can install printer drivers and printer description files from the User Software DVD or
directly from the EX Print Server with WebTools.
For more information about setting up and starting WebTools, see Utilities.
TODOWNLOAD PRINTER DRIVERS WITH WEBTOOLS
1 Start your Internet or intranet browser and type the DNS name or IP address of the
EX Print Server.
2 Click the Downloads tab.
3 Click the link for the printer drivers that you want to install (Printer Files for Mac OS X).
A file named OSX.dmg is downloaded to your desktop. The file contains a folder named
Printer Driver in a BinHex-encoded, compressed format. If your Internet browser is equipped
with an expander utility, such as StuffIt Expander, the folder decodes and decompresses
automatically.
If the Printer Driver folder does not automatically decode and decompress, double-click the
file to start the utility that performs that function.
4 Install the appropriate printer driver for your operating system.
For instructions on installing the printer driver for Mac OS X, see “Installing Mac OS X
printer drivers and printer description files” on page 8.
System requirements
For detailed system requirements, see Welcome, provided in your media pack.

SETTING UPPRINTING ON MAC OS X 8
SETTING UPPRINTING ON MAC OS X
To set up the EX Print Server as a PostScript printer on a Mac OS X computer, install
the printer driver files that correspond to your digital press. The printer driver files are
provided on the User Software DVD or can be downloaded using WebTools. Printer drivers
provide a way to communicate information about print jobs between your applications, the
EX Print Server, and the digital press.
Installing Mac OS X printer drivers and printer description files
The User Software DVD contains the following software for Mac OS X (see the OSX:Printer
Driver folder):
•OSX Installer: Installs the printer driver files required to print from Mac OS X.
•Language folders: Printer description files that are installed by OSX Installer. You do not
need to open these folders or install them manually on your computer. The appropriate
files are installed by OSX Installer.
TOINSTALL THE PRINTER DESCRIPTION FILES FOR MAC OS X
1 Quit all open applications.
2 Make sure that the Printer Setup Utility is not running on your computer.
Printer Setup Utility updates the list of available printers when it starts. If a printer description
file is added while Printer Setup Utility is running, you cannot select the associated printer
model until you restart.
3 Insert the User Software DVD into the DVD drive.
4 Open the OSX : Printer Driver folder on the User Software DVD.
5 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions.
The OSX Installer installs the printer driver files that correspond to the EX Print Server.
7 When copying is complete, click Quit.

PRINTING UTILITIES 16
PRINTING UTILITIES
The following methods allow you to print to the EX Print Server:
• USB device
•FTPprinting
Printing from a USB device
You can print files on a USB device to the EX Print Server. To do so, save files to the USB
device and download them directly to the EX Print Server. You can print files that originated
on Mac OS computers.
You can print files automatically from a USB device to one of the standard print queues on
the EX Print Server (Print, Hold, or Direct) or to published virtual printers. Verify with your
administrator that these connections are published in Setup. You can also print any of the files
on your USB device, specify where to send them, and select some print options. For more
information about virtual printers, see Utilities.
Before you print files from a USB device, ask your administrator to configure the appropriate
options. For more information about configuring the appropriate options, see Configuration
and Setup.
The two methods of printing files from a USB device are automatic printing and manual
printing.
Automatic printing
To print automatically to Print, Hold, or Direct queues, or to published virtual printers with
the Print All setting, set up folders on your USB device with the names Print, Hold, and
Direct, and the names of any published virtual printers. When you plug the USB device into
a USB port on the EX Print Server, the files in those folders are sent automatically to the
corresponding queues.

PRINTING UTILITIES 17
TOPRINT FILES FROM THE USB DEVICE
1 Configure the USB printing options in Setup.
For more information, see Configure Help.
2 Create folders at the top (root) level of the USB device named Print, Hold, and Direct.
3 Copy the files (PS, EPS, PCL, TIFF, and PDF) from the user’s computer to the USB device.
Files copied to the Print, Hold, and Direct folders are downloaded to the corresponding print
connection on the EX Print Server automatically when you connect the USB device to the
EX Print Server. Files copied to the root level of the USB device are downloaded to the Print
queue.
4 Remove the USB device from the computer and connect it to the USB connector on the
EX Print Server.
For the location of the USB port, see Configuration and Setup.
Make sure that the USB device is properly stopped before you disconnect it from the
computer.

If FTP Services are enabled on the EX Print Server, the EX Print Server is set up as an FTP
server. You can send jobs to the EX Print Server using FTP printing. For more information
on configuring FTP Services, see Configuration and Setup.
You can use any FTP client software. Before you can use FTP printing, the FTP client
software requires the following information (see your administrator):
• IP address or DNS name for the EX Print Server
• Directory or path to send the job to, such as the Print Queue, Hold Queue, or published
virtual printers (if supported)
NOTE: You cannot print to the Direct connection using FTP printing.
• User name and password (if required)
You can send PostScript (PS), Printer Control Language (PCL), Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF), and Portable Document Format (PDF) files to the EX Print Server. Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS) files are not supported for FTP printing.
TOPRINT FILES TO THE EX PRINT SERVER USING THE FTP PROTOCOL
1 Connect to the EX Print Server with your FTP client software.
Folders corresponding to the Print queue and Hold queue are displayed. Folders for any
published virtual printer are also displayed.
2 Navigate to the folder representing the print connection or published virtual printer.
3 Upload your job to the folder that you want.
After the job is printed, it is deleted from the EX Print Server.

PRINTING FROM MAC OS X 19
PRINTING FROM MAC OS X
Print to the EX Print Server as you would print to any other printer from a Mac OS X
application. Select a printer and print the file from within the application. In addition to this
method, you can download files to the EX Print Server using Hot Folders (see Utilities) or the
Docs tab in WebTools (see Utilities), and print documents using Command WorkStation
(see Utilities).
