Introduction
QMS 1660 Print System Reference 4-2
Introduction
This chapter begins by listing and describing the different ways you
can configure your printer to meet your special printing needs.
The next section describes how to use the printer control panel to
access the configuration menu and how to make configuration
changes.
The rest of the chapter provides basic printer configuration informa-
tion about all configuration menu options. Menu options discussed in
this chapter are grouped according to task. After each option is intro-
duced, a table lists the option’s location in the configuration menu, the
available choices for that option, and the factory default (the value set
at the factory).
Methods of Configuration
You have four major ways to configure your printer to meet your print-
ing needs. In order of priority, they are
n
Through an application
n
Through PS Executive Series Utilities
n
Through printer commands
n
Through the printer control panel
n
Through a remote console (for network users)
Using an Application
Using your application is the best way to control your printer since
most printing is done on a per-job basis. This helps prevent confusion
in network environments and saves you from making changes at the
printer control panel. Your application documentation explains how to
control your printer settings: probably by choosing options from a
printing menu.
