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.
1. 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.
2. Go to the Apple Icon – System Preferences - Printers and Scanners, select the PTI
Color_Cookie, click on, Options & Supplies, and Open Printer Utility. Or you may
simply print to the printer and the Utility will open.
