An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the Starter CD. Use the Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver that comes with the computer. z Printing Dialog Extensions (PDEs) (Mac OS X) PDEs are code plug-ins that provide access to printer features, such as number of copies, print on both sides, and quality settings. An installation program for the PDEs and other software is provided on the Starter CD. z HP LaserJet Utility The HP LaserJet Utility allows control of features that are not available in the printer driver. Use the illustrated screens to select printer features and complete tasks with the printer, such as the following: • download files, view fonts, and change many of the printer settings • check the ink cartridge levels • configure and set the printer for Internet Protocol (IP) or AppleTalk printing The HP LaserJet Utility is not supported for the Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese languages. 2-10 ENWW
