PC Printing Software
If you’re replacing a color PostScript printer, you can probably start
printing now with the printing software already in place. You can
refer to your application documentation for instructions on sending
documents to the printer.
However, if you want to be able to use all your printer’s special
features (like Q
COLOR
automatic color control technology, media
size and type selection, and collation), or if you’ve never printed
to a color PostScript printer before, we recommend you take a few
minutes to make sure you have the following printing software
installed:
■ PS Executive Series Utilities
■ A color PostScript printer driver
