Prepare Sahafi to Work With Your Printer

Before you print the bulletin, you need to tell Sahafi about your printer.

  1. Make sure your printer is switched on and warmed up. Most printers take a few minutes to warm up. By switching your printer on now, you'll be sure it's warmed up when you are ready to print.

  2. Choose the Chooser from the Apple menu and select the printer you want to use. If you are not familiar with the Chooser, see the Mac System Software User's Guide and the owner's guide that came with your printer.

  3. Close the Chooser by clicking its close box.

  4. Choose Printer Setup from the File menu. The Printer Setup dialog box appears. This dialog box may be familiar to you. It is the same as the dialog box you work with whenever you print with your printer. Sahafi also adds its own options to this. They appear either in the lower part of this dialog box or, as in the case of the LaserWriter driver in their own panel which can be accessed from a menu at the top of this dialog. The Sahafi options here are primarily for setting up color separations. At the bottom left the current printer is displayed. If you are working with a PostScript printer and this do not appear, it is because you have no Printer Description (MPD) files installed in the MPD folder. See the section "How To - Printing" for more information on these options.

  5. Choose the paper size that matches the paper loaded in your printer. This is usually 'Letter' in the US and 'A4' elsewhere.

  6. Click OK.
