If you're replacing a PostScript printer, you can probably start printing now with the 
printing software already in place. Refer to your application documentation for instruc-
tions on sending documents to the printer.

However, if you want to be able to use all your printer’s special features, 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:

A PostScript Level 2 printer driver

Printer description files (if you use QuarkXPress 3.3, PageMaker, or Photoshop). 
See chapter 5, “Notes on Installing Printer Description Files” on page 3-2.

)(&

If you're using Windows, we recommend that you install one of the QMS-developed 
Level 2 Windows drivers on the QMS

 Software Utilities

 CD-ROM we shipped with your 

printer. Drivers are available for

Windows 3.1

Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Windows 95/98

Windows NT 3.51
