Hai Guys

I have a SHARP MX-2310U machine with MX-PB14 (printer Expansion Kit). Is there any possibilities to connect the machine in MAC with out PostScript Card.
Can i get the color printouts from a normal application.

you cant print out from the mfp in macintosh os unless you purchased postscript kit from sharp.

You will also need postscript for all of those Iphone users that now want to print to their copiers! Have done this on a couple of our machines!!

Enjoy that experience!

Just duh up this old thread..

Apparently mac can print via the generic PCL driver.. So after all.. you may not need postscript if your printing from mac (OSX 10.5 and later)

Postscript Drivers is Adobe Print Language like PCL. It is best with circles and color. There is a HUGE diff in all machines when using PS with any graphics and color. PDF creation and complex office files do better with PS. Period.

Rule of thumb. If one document has trouble printing in PCL try it with Postscript. PCL has some support for the PS language but not everything is cooked in PCL. They will NEVER fully blend. So if you want to sell luxury , sell both languages. If you dont offer it up front and inform them then your not doing your job either.

you also need the ps3 kit for full functionality of the usb port.
