Appendix B: Using EPSON Drivers and Utilities for Macintosh Note Even if you're using the RS-5100 RIP, it's a good idea to install the standard EPSON drivers and utilities for easier maintenance and troubleshooting. Your EPSON Stylus Pro 9000 and 9500 come with drivers that let you use the printer in non-PostScript mode without a RIP. Utilities allow you to manage background printing jobs, track the status of your printer, and run print head maintenance procedures. ICC profiles for ColorSync 3.0 are included, so you can use advanced color management features of your applications or the driver itself. The driver CD-ROM also includes an electronic Reference Guide to your printer and EPSON printer software. You can read the guide using a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 3.0 or later. This chapter includes the following information: • Connecting the printer • Setting up your software • Setting print options • Managing print jobs • Checking printer status • Running print head utilities Connecting the Printer You can connect your Macintosh directly using the printer's built-in serial interface, or you use the parallel interface with a conversion cable (such as the EPSON USB adapter, C-USB-PK4). See the appropriate section below for instructions on connecting to the serial or parallel interfaces. If you connect the EPSON Stylus Pro 9500 to a networked Macintosh, you can use the printer sharing feature to allow network printing. See page B-6 for instructions. If you installed the optional EPSON FireWire interface or EpsonNet Internal Print Server, you can connect through these interfaces. See Appendix A for instructions. 1
