PC Printing Software
If you're replacing a PostScript printer, you can probably start printing
now with the printing software already in place. Refer to your applica-
tion documentation for instructions on sending documents to the
printer.
However, if you want to be able to use all your printer's special fea-
tures (like collation, 300x300 dpi and 600x600 dpi printing), or if
you've never printed to a PostScript printer before, we recommend
you take a few minutes to make sure you have the following printing
software installed:
n A PostScript printer driver
n Printer description files (if you use QuarkXPress 3.3, PageMaker,
or Photoshop)
Installing a PostScript Printer Driver
If you're using Windows, we recommend that you install the
QMS-developed Windows driver, which is on the disk called Windows
Drivers (shipped with the printer). See “Installing the QMS Level 2
Windows 3.1/Windows 95 Driver,” below.
If you're using a non-Windows application, read the printing sec-
tion of the application documentation for information on choosing a
PostScript driver. If the application does not provide a PostScript
driver, contact the application manufacturer to see if one has become
available since you bought the program. Also, PostScript drivers for
some applications are available through CompuServe; see appendix
A, “QMS Customer Support,” for information.
Also, check to see if application notes (tips for printing from specific
applications) are available for your application from Q-FAX, or Com-
puServe. Appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” explains how to use
these QMS information services.
