Printing from applications
You can print to the DocuColor just as you would print to any other printer from any
application software. First, select the DocuColor as the current printer in the Chooser,
and then print the file from within your application.
Jobs printed to the DocuColor are sent from your Macintosh computer to a network
server via AppleTalk; the network server then prints the job to the DocuColor via
IPX/SPX. For more information on setting up network servers to communicate with
the DocuColor, see the Administrator Guide.
Printing from applications
Before you can print to the DocuColor from applications, you must select the
DocuColor in the Chooser. Then, using the Adobe PostScript printer driver and the
correct PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file, you can control many DocuColor
printing features by specifying job settings from print dialog boxes.
Selecting the DocuColor in the Chooser
Before you print a job, make sure the DocuColor is the currently selected printer.
