If you’re replacing a PostScript laser printer, you can probably start printing now with
the printing software already in place. 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 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:
QMS Macintosh Utilities
A PostScript printer driver, usuallly installed with the Macintosh system software
Application-specific printer files
' *
QMS Macintosh Utilities are programs for controlling the printer from the Macintosh. It
is included on the
QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM that shipped with your printer.
