1.1.3 Limitations
The plugin cannot be run on a Macintosh computer that has NuBus slots only. This
limitation is typically restricted to Macintosh computers that were manufactured
before 1996.
1.2 Software installation
Harlequin strongly recommends that you install this plugin in a new installation of the
RIP. In particular, you are very likely to experience irregular behavior if you install
version 1.0r0 or later of the plugin in an installation where you have previously
installed a Plotters plugin, or an earlier version of this plugin.
There are several stages to the installation of a working system. These are:
• Install any required operating system support
• Install the RIP, if required
• Install the plugin
1.2.1 Installing the operating system support software and printer
Do not install software supplied with the printer on a computer running the RIP unless
you wish to use the printer directly from the operating system. The RIP operates inde-
pendently of software installed to work with the operating system. If you do try to use
both applications, you are likely to get spurious messages from the operating software
about paper out or similar error conditions.
