Section 5: Printing from a Mac
5A Print Utility Settings (Eddie Config Utility)
The Eddie Config Utility is used to interact with the Printer for gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, and several other functions.
To Find Eddie Config Utility:
The Eddie Config Utility automatically installs with your printer driver and can be accessed through the Printer & Scanners in Mac under Apple Icon – System Preferences.
- Connect the Printer via USB and turn on the power. The Eddie Config Utility accesses most of the information it uses from the Printer itself, so the Printer must be turned on and communicating for the program to open.
- Go to the Apple Icon – System Preferences – Printers and Scanners, select "PTI Color_Cookie", click on "Options & Supplies" and "Open Printer Utility". Or you may simply print to the Printer, and the Utility will open.
- The Eddie Config Utility has 4 tabs that are arranged on the left of the window. Each tab opens a screen that has various similar functions.
- Status Tab (First Tab). Displays ink levels, print counter, and any error messages.
- Cartridge Tab (Second Tab). Use for aligning the cartridge, cleaning the cartridge, and changing the cartridge.
- Alignment Tab (Third Tab). Adjusts vertical and horizontal print alignment. Changes the Stock Sensor Mode and toggles the Output/Cut Mode, and set other advanced settings.
- Settings Tab (Fourth Tab). Displays printer information including firmware version, driver version, and software version. Check for updates.
