Macintosh OS X Driver
Installation - Horizon ®

Overview
The Codonics PostScript Driver CD includes files needed for
printing directly to a Horizon from a Macintosh running OS
X. These instructions describe installation of version 1.7.2
Horizon PostScript drivers on a Macintosh host system run-
ning OS X version 10.3, connected to a Horizon imager run-
ning version 1.7.2 software. Operation may vary with other
configurations.
