Documentation For Installing Varitronics Drivers on Macintosh Computers
Step 1 - Downloading
Varitronics printer driver files intended for Macintosh computers have names ending in ".sit" and are self extracting Stuffit archives. A Stuffit archive is a package containing one or more files that has been "stuffed" to make it smaller and provide easy downloading of numerous files simultaneously. An archive that is self-extracting is capable of "unstuffing" itself once it has been "decoded." Your browser program may be capable of "decoding" and "unstuffing" the file you select automatically.
If your browser program does NOT automatically "decode" and "unstuff" the file for you, here's what you should do:
Once the file has been completely downloaded to your computer, use a program such as a recent "Stuffit" program to "decode" it. You may wish to place it in an empty folder on your Macintosh to prevent mingling its files with others already on your computer. "Decoding" the file will present you with an archive whose file name ends in ".sit" which can also then be unstuffed in one of two ways:
Use one of the recent "Stuffit" programs Stuffit
Deluxe or Stuffit Expander to
open and extract the contents of a Macintosh archive.
The latest "Stuffit" programs are capable of both "decoding" and "unstuffing" the original downloaded file, leaving you with a folder containing a "double-clickable" installer application.
Simply launch this program, and follow its instructions to install your new printer software.
